Pumpkin Patch

Released at Fibre Flurry 2011: This pumpkin vine inspired shawl is formed from three identical triangular panels worked from the top-down, with eyelet increases. The hem combines a mist drops pattern with Estonian lace techniques and is made denser by changing from a 5 ply to an aran yarn. The shawl could alternatively be knit entirely in 5ply or lighter for a larger and more ethereal garment. Instructions are charted with full written explanation. This pattern is rated as moderately easy, as it contains a large portion of stocking stitch and most wrong side rows are worked as the stitches present. Some concentration is required for the lace edging. Additional skills required are: provisional cast-on, double and treble yarn-overs, right twists.
