Shawl Knitalong

This is the fifth post of my shawl knitalong, you can find the other posts in my sidebar.
This week we will also make two rosettes.

Shawl
Starting with the 57 sts from last week.
First row: k1 yo k55 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k57 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k59 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k61 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k63 yo k1.
p row: p across.

This is before the outside increases, I
put yarn where the needles would go
to show you what it looks like.

k row: k1 yo k65 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k67 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k69 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k71 yo k1.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 yo k73 yo k1.
Continue until you reach just slightly less than your desired length, do not cast off,
k row: kfb yo k across yo kfb.
p row: p across.
k row: k1 kfb yo k across yo kfb k1.
p row: p across.

You can see that it doesn't drape well.

k row: k2 kfb yo k across yo kfb k2.
p row: p across.
k row: k3 kfb yo k across yo kfb k3.
p row: p across.
k row: k4 kfb yo k across yo kfb k4.
That is all for this week, this new piece of the pattern will make the shawl drape over the wearer's arms more than just the triangular shawl. You don't have to include this, you can just continue to your desired length in the triangular pattern.

We will need 9 rosettes total, so far we have 5.

Decorations (2)

            

(Decoration) You should have a gradual curve.

Cast on 2 sts in lace weight, also using 2 double points.

First row:k1 kfb.

Next row: k across.

Next row: k1 kfb k1.

First purl row: p across.

k row: k2 kfb k1.

p row: p across.

k row: k3 kfb k1.

p row: p across.

k row: k4 kfb k1.

purl every purl row, knit 1 more before your kfb every knit row, when you have 10 sts on your needle knit stockinette for 5 rows.

It should look like this right after cast off.

Next row: k1 k2tog k across.

p row: p across.

k row: k1 k2tog k across.

p row: p across.

k row: k1 k2tog k across. Repeat k1 k2tog k across every k row, purl across every p row, until you have 2 sts left then cast off.

Leave 3 inch strand of yarn after casting off, use to tie/weave in a spiral until it resembles a rosette.

That is all for this week, I am so very sorry I have not been posting as promised, the last few weeks have been more than I have had time for. I will try to get back on track. Thank you for reading!

The end product rosette.
