This shawl is worked entirely in the round from the center Setup through Section C, where the hem edging is then
knitted on to the live body stitches by working back and forth in rows.
Change from DPNs to circular needles as the size of the knitted piece allows. For each round throughout the shawl
construction, written instructions represent all stitches along one side of the square; the entire line is then repeated for
the remaining three sides. Within each side, the repeating motif is represented by (the series of sts within parens).
Markers are indicated throughout pattern as a convenience for organizing sts; use of them is optional.
Setup
Using any provisional cast-on method and leaving a 6 tail, place 8 sts on a larger DPN needle as follows:
[CO 1, PM, CO 1] 4 times.
Divide sts over four DPNs so that there are 2 sts on each needle. Join to work in the round, taking care not to
twist sts.
Next rnd: purl around
Note: Each needle now carries the sts for one of the four shawl sides [indicated throughout instructions by square
brackets]; the marker on each needle divides the sts of the side panel from the corner sts. Throughout construction,
increases worked at either end of the side panel will cause the stitch count for each side to grow.
While working on DPNs, take care that the YO at the beginning of each written line does not fall off the needle.
Next rnd: [k1, SM, yo, k1, yo] 4 times around (each needle now carries 4 sts)
Next rnd: purl around
Begin pattern (charted pattern and legend for all charts appear on page 8):
R1: [yo, k1, yo, SM, (k1, yo) twice, k1] 4 times around
R2: [p3, SM, p1, k3, p1] 4 times around
R3: [yo, k3, yo, SM, k5] 4 times around

R13: [yo, k2tog, k4, yo, k1, yo, k4, ssk, yo, SM, k1, yo, sl1 k2tog psso, yo, k1] 4 times around
R14: [k1, PM, k12, PM, k2, SM, p1, k3, p1] 4 times around
This completes the setup section [80 total sts: 15 side panel sts + 5 corner sts on each of four sides]. The new
set of markers placed in R14 will mark the beginning and end of the repeating motif within the side panel; sts
outside those markers are remainder sts.

Section A: Beehive Lace (charted pattern appears on page 9; legend appears on page 8)
Note: In this section, the repeating motif consists of (the group of sts within parens), which is worked just once in
the first 20 rows and increases by two repeats (24 sts) each time the 20-row pattern is worked. Move pattern markers
outward by 12 sts on each side while working R20 to accommodate this increase.
When it is time to move to the circular needle, add a marker after each set of corner sts to mark the start of the next
side panel. From here, the instructions include the use of this marker.
R1: [yo, k1, yo, SM, (k1, yo, ssk, p7, k2tog, yo) repeat to next marker, SM, k1, yo, k1, yo, SM, k5, SM] 4 times around

Note: in R19, shift the pattern markers one stitch right to accommodate the double decrease.

R20: [knit across all sts to edging marker, SM, p1, k3, p1, SM] 4 times around
Repeat these 20 rows three times MORE, removing the pattern markers on the last repeat of R20 (leave corner
markers in place).
Work a reverse stockinette ridge over the next 4 rows as follows:
R1: [yo, purl across to the first corner marker, yo, SM, k5, SM] 4 times around
R2: [purl across to the first corner marker, SM, p1, k3, p1, SM] 4 times around
R3: [yo, purl across to the first corner marker, yo, SM, k1, yo, sl1 k2tog psso, yo, k1, SM] 4 times around
R4: [k3, PM, knit to 4 sts before next marker, PM, k4, SM, p1, k3, p1, SM] 4 times around
This completes Section A [480 total stitches: 115 side panel sts + 5 corner sts on each of four sides]. Piece should
measure approximately 10 inches from center start point. The innermost pattern markers have been reset to
mark the repeating pattern in the next section, which begins on page 4.

Section C: Bee in Field Lace (first charted pattern appears on page 11; legend appears on page 8)
Note: the bee motif (worked over 6 rows) in this section requires a couple of unique maneuvers. On each successive
row, the YOs from the previous row are dropped and additional YOs are worked to take their place on the needle. On
row 5 of the motif, the YOs from the 4th row are dropped, 4 sts are cast on to take their place, then the loose bars from
all four previous rows are gathered up (PU4 bars k1) to make the bee wings as follows:
Pass the RH needle under the dropped YOs from the previous 4 rows and knit one stitch by drawing the working yarn
forward and up from underneath them (a detailed chart for the bee panel motif appears on page 11).

This completes Section C [816 total stitches: 199 side panel sts + 5 corner sts on each of four sides]. Piece should
measure approximately 17 inches from center start point. Slide all sts to the smaller needle to set up for edging.

Hem Edging (to be worked on smaller needle over 816 sts of the entire hem edge; chart appears on page 9)
Note: At the end of each even-numbered (WS) row, work the k2tog using the remaining edging stitch along with
the next stitch from the group waiting on the body needle. One stitch from the shawl body will be used for every two
edging rows worked. Use of a separate DPN to knit alternate rows may alleviate turning of entire work for each row.
Use the backward loop method where casting on extra stitches is indicated. The winglets at the ends of the shawl
edges are created by casting on 2 sts, turning work, and immediately binding off 2 sts, leaving one stitch on the RH
needle (which is not part of the following set of sts).
Setup: With RS facing and using a provisional cast-on method, place 8 sts on the RH needle, then turn and work
the following WS setup row: k1, p3, k1, yo, (k2tog) twice
Turn work to RS and begin edging pattern on R1
R1 (RS): sl 1, k1, yo, k2tog, k4
R2 (WS): k1, p3, k1, yo, (k2tog) twice
R3: sl 1, k1, yo, k2tog, yo, sl1 k2tog psso, yo, k1, CO2
R4: BO2 (1 st remains on RH needle), p3, k1, yo, (k2tog) twice
Repeat these 4 rows 415 times MORE around entire hem. Work two extra repeats at each corner by working
4 edging rows into every ONE body st, for two sts before and after each center corner stitch. When edging is
complete, remove the provisional cast-on at start, slide the resulting 8 sts to a spare needle, and graft the two
live edges using kichener stitch.
Finishing
At shawl center, remove the provisional cast-on, thread the yarn tail through the resulting live stitches, and pull
snugly to close hole. Secure with a small stitch, then weave in all loose ends inconspicuously on WS of fabric.
Soak shawl in lukewarm water with a small amount of wool soap added for approximately 60 minutes or until
fiber is completely saturated. Rinse and squeeze out excess moisture by rolling the piece in a towel. Stretch
slightly (keep some of the fabric density) and pin piece to the finished measurements on page 1. Allow to air dry
completely before unpinning.
