\nThis year you find here on the 24 days of Advent the instructions<\/a> for a shawl that is symmetrically patterned lengthwise.
\nThe patterns comprises amongst others net lace, leaf lace and diamond lace parts which I combined to a harmonious pattern.
\nThe repeat of 24 stitches allows you to decide on the width of your shawl by simply knitting more or less repeats.
\nYou can also adapt the length because there will be a lengthening pattern in the middle for you to lengthen the shawl should you like to.
\nOn day 12 you will learn more about this.
\nAnd as always: shouldn’t you need a shawl make simply a table runner from :)<\/p>\n

The photo gives you an idea about your shawl (hopefully ;-)) without spoiling the surprise.
\n(And if you should be curious: there are more pictures<\/a> ;-))<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em> at ravelry you can find the group unikatissima<\/em><\/a>
\nwhere you can discuss this pattern and my other patterns, too and where you can show us your wip<\/a> (work in progress<\/em>).
\nYou can register at ravelry<\/a> with your username and a valid email address only, with all other information about you it’s up to you whether you give them (at least it was like this when I registered ;-)).<\/p>\n

About the pattern:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The shawl has this year
    \n\t* a lengthwise symmetrical pattern with net lace, leaf lace and diamond lace parts,
    \n\t* a 24 stitches repeat which allows you to knit the shawl as wide as you like and
    \n\t* a lengthening pattern that you can knit in the middle of the shawl as often as you like to adapt the length of the shawl to your liking. You will learn more about this on day 12.
     <\/li>\n
  2. The pattern
    \n\t* is a multiple of 24 pattern stitches + 3 start\/end stitches + 2 or more edge stitches,
    \n\t* has total 434 rows without lengthening patterns.
    \n\t* The lengthening pattern has 24 rows and will be knitted after day 12 if necessary. You will learn more about this on day 12.
    \n\t* The daily instructions contain each as well charts as written instructions.
     <\/li>\n
  3. To knit the shawl you need
    \n\t* yarn with needles in appropriate size (the shawl looks as beautiful knitted in lace yarn as in fingering or bulkier yarn)<\/em>,
    \n\t* know-how about knitting yarn overs and different decreases and
    \n\t* if you like stitch markers to mark the repeats.
     <\/li>\n
  4. If you want to make the shawl
    \n\t* broader\/narrower simply adjust the number of repeats;
    \n\t* shorter,
    \n\t     – use smaller needle sizes and\/or
    \n\t     – finer yarn and\/or
    \n\t     – knit less loose;
    \n\t* longer
    \n\t     – knit one or more lengthening patterns after day 12 and\/or
    \n\t     – use larger needles and\/or
    \n\t     – bulkier yarn and\/or
    \n\t     – knit more loose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    About the finished item:<\/h3>\n

    Please bear in mind:<\/em><\/b> the size always depends on your gauge and also on the way you knit – I’m always knitting very loosely.<\/p>\n

    This year I knitted only one shawl.<\/p>\n

    For my shawl<\/b><\/a> I used<\/b>
    \n* 3 repeats
    \n* without lengthening pattern
    \n* with about 605 m turquoise Vendita cotton yarn (50 g have about 115 m)<\/em>
    \n* with 4 mm needles to
    \n* a total of 33418 stitches and
    \n* got a shawl of about 15,7″ x 63″ (this are about 40 x 160 cm)<\/em>.
    \nI knitted the daily pattern parts in a little bit more than 30 min.<\/p>\n

    The cotton yarn is from the so-called Vendita Frühlings­sortiment (Vendita Spring kit)<\/em> and I don’t find it soo suitable for Advent, but I knitted the shawl in fact in Spring :)<\/p>\n
