The Elder Tree Shawl(the lonely tree shawl rethought)
a shawl pattern by softsweater
Another Lonely Tree Shawl?
Yup! I’ve had enough feedback that folks wanted a version of the Lonely Tree Shawl with charts that you could repeat forever to make the shawl as big or as small as you’d like. Took me a year to bother to do it - but here it is! Ready for you to repeat indefinitely! Using whatever yarn
you’d like!
It would look lovely in a lace weight. Just sayin’.
What you’ll need:
Yarn! and needles that go with the yarn. This pattern is very easy to modify, so use what you’d like!
I used:
3 balls of Grignasco Loden1 pair of 5.5mm needles
Casting On:The Garter Tab:
Cast on 3 stitches. Knit 6 rows. Pick up 3 stitches along the long edge and 2 stitches along the cast-on edge of your tiny knitted thing. You
should have a little U of fabric and 8 stitches on your needle.
.
Off the charts!
Before you start knitting you must know a few things about these charts. They don’t show wrong side (WS) rows. ALL wrong side rows are
worked as follows:
k2, purl until last 2 stitches, k2
ALL right side (RS) rows (which are the ones that are charted) are worked as follows:
k2, work the appropriate row on the chart, k2, work that same row from the chart again, k2.
Those k2s are the side borders and the middle spine stitches.
All charts are worked from bottom right to top left. Each row is read from right to left.
Knit Chart A, and then repeat Chart B for as long as you’d like before you decide to do the picot cast off.
The grey shaded part of Chart B indicates the repeat part. Every time you complete the chart and start it over again, you will be repeating
that grey part one more time.

Done knitting your charts?
Alright, let’s cast that shit off then!
Before you start the actual casting off you’ll need to knit eight rows of garter. That means knitting every row for eight rows.
Okay, after that we’re ready to cast off using the Picot Cast off method.!
*Cast on 2 stitches using the knitted cast on methodCast off 6 stitches*
repeat from * to * until all stitches have been cast off.
Happy Knitting!
Thanks for knitting!
