Panache Shawl

Inspired and modified from Pfuglehale (Peacock's Tail Doily) at Kunststrikning, http://www.kunststrik.dk/Paafuglehale.htm. English version of this Peacock's Tail Doily you can find at Yarnover.net, http://www.yarnover.net/patterns/doilies/kunststrik/paafugl.html. The original doily pattern has 16 motif repeats, my 3/4-circle version shawl has 11 motif repeats, so in theory it's not a 3/4-circle but changing needles bigger on the way helps to widen it. A semicircular version has 9 motif repeats and is actually a little over half a circle.

Yarn: 790 - 800 meters of yarn of your choice Needles: 4 mm, 4,5 mm and 5 mm or suitable for your yarn choice, I used 80 cm circulars You will also need a crocheting hook suitable for your yarn choice (I used 2,5 mm hook) and two stitch markers. Needle sizes and yarn weight are just suggestions. Bigger needle size and/or thicker yarn means a bigger shawl and vice versa. Light blue and pink shawl are knit of woollen machine knitting yarn 68 tex x 3 (Nm 3/15) 100 g = 500 meters, shawl's height from neck down is 70 cm and weight 154 grams. Black one is Novita Florica wool yarn (50 g = 175 meters), height from neck down is about 66 cm and weight 225 grams. k = knit p = purl yo = yarn over k2tog = knit 2 stitches together skp = sl1, k1, psso (slip one, knit one, pass the slipped stitch over) 3tog= knit 3 stitches together m1 = make one, you can find an animation of this increase at http://www.kaspaikka.fi/neulontaA&O/animation/lisays.gif ()x = knit symbols in brackets as many times as indicated *-* = repeat enclosed instructions ch = chain stitch (crocheting) sc = single crochet (crocheting)
