Here’s another of my knitting patterns, now available for free download.Undine by Deborah Cooke knit in Noro Kureyon Sock by Deborah CookeIt’s a triangular shawl, knit in garter stitch, with a ruffled edge. That edge has a picot border. it’s also knitted sideways, which makes for fun stripes in self-striping yarn. You can make this shawl in any size – basically, you follow the directions to increase the width of the shawl until half your yarn is gone. Then you use the directions to decrease down to the other point.

Undine by Deborah Cooke knit in Noro Kureyon Sock by Deborah CookeI used Noro Kureyon Sock for mine. This is two balls-worth and it’s a pretty good sized shawl. Something about the colours and that ruffley picot edge made me think of mermaids and seaweed, thus the name.

The pattern is on Ravelry right HERE.

One Skein Shawls – Gaia and Citron

I seem to have had a number of one-skein shawls on the needles this winter, many of which ended up as gifts. This makes everyone happy – I have something fun and quick to knit, and the recipient gets a pretty shawl.

One I just loved is also the shawl I forgot to photograph before it went on its way. Oops! The pattern is called the Gaia Shawl by Ann Carroll Gilmour. Here’s a Ravelry link that will work whether you have a Ravelry account or not. It uses one skein of Noro Kureyon Sock, a fave yarn of mine, and you get to play with making changes as you go. It came out so pretty and was a quick knit.

My most recent little shawl is this one, also knit in Noro Kureyon Sock. The pattern is Citron, and it’s a free pattern from Knitty.com. Here it is:Citron by Hilary Smith Callis knit in Noro Silk Garden Sock by Deborah CookeBecause I was worried about the size of the finished shawl, I added a row of holes in the middle of each stockinette section to make it a bit less solid, and also some beads around the hem. I didn’t have enough yarn for the frill, but it came out nicely without it. It’s supposed to have a ruffly row in between the rows of solid stockinette – in blocking, those ruffles flattened out, but now that the pins are off, it’s ruffling up again. I was afraid for a day that I had blocked it too hard, but all seems to be well.

Another quick and pretty knit; another perfect gift!
