Asking for Roses

PRICE: Was: $5.00
$3.00 USD

“Asking for Roses” is a narrow crescent, shaped with short rows, allowing a gentle curve to hug the shoulders, while draping gracefully around the neck. It’s a longer and narrower shape than most designs that use this kind of yardage, and I hope you find it fun to knit and flattering to wear.

Asking for Roses begins by knitting the lace edging along the long curved edge. The stitch pattern involves regular decreases when working Rows 15 – 18. This helps establish the curved edge. Then, stitches are worked across the length of the lace, picking up stitches as necessary along the side edges. Instructions are provided in both written and charted form.

The flattened circular shaping is accomplished with a series of short rows, worked in stockinette.
Finally, eyelet details and an icord bindoff finish the top edge of the shawl.
