Haw Frost Shawl Cardigan
Haw frost is thick and fluffy and looks like snow has fallen ... this yarn reminded me of that especially with the metallic threads.
Materials
10 x 50g Mohair (88m per 50g) - any mohair that is roughly the same length per 50g should work similarly.
I used Charisma Luxury Fashion Mohair Gold Award in Winter White with metalic threads in blue, silver, gold and pink.
- 74% mohair
- 13% wool
- 9% nylon
- 4% metalic
7.00mm hook
Sizing
Finished size: one size UK 12 - 20 (US 10 - 18) and easily adjusted for larger sizes simply by adding more rows where indicated.
Dimensions:
Tension
Peak to peak of pattern - 16cm
2 rows = 4cm
Pattern
Put a small amount of yarn to one side to create chain for armholes.
Foundation Chain: 96 chain
Row 1: 3ch (acts as 1st tr throughout), tr into 4th ch from hook, *8 tr, sk 2ch, 8tr, (tr, 2ch, tr)* repeat from * to * to last 9ch, 8tr, 2tr into last ch.
Row 2 (solid row): 3ch, 1tr into same place as ch, *8 tr, sk 2 stitches, 8tr, (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row* repeat from * to * to last 9 stitches, 8tr, 2tr into last stitch.
Row 3 (filet row): 3ch, 1tr into same place as ch, *4 x (1ch, sk 1 stitch, tr), sk 2 stitches, 4 x (tr, sk 1 stitch, 1ch), (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row* repeat from * to * to last 9 stitches, 4 x (tr, sk 1 stitch, 1ch), 2tr into last stitch.
Repeat rows 2 & 3, seven more times.
ADJUST AT THIS POINT - add more repeats of rows 2 & 3 if needed and write down total number of rows.
Row 16 (solid row): 3ch, 1tr into same place as ch, *8 tr, sk 2 stitches, 8tr, (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row* repeat from * to * to last 9 stitches, 8tr, 2tr into last stitch.
CREATE ARMHOLE
Join spare yarn to the 2nd dip from the edge - roughly 10 in from edge.
29 ch - spans one peak and one trough (1 1/2 pattern repeats).
Join yarn to 2nd peak from point where you joined the yard and cast off - roughly 13 in from the other edge.
Row 19 (solid row): 3ch, 1tr into same place as ch, 8 tr, sk 2 stitches, 8tr, (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row, 8tr, sk 1 stitch and 1ch from attached chain, 9tr along attached chain, 2ch, 9tr along chain, sk 2 ch, 8tr along chain, (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space where chain is re-attached, 8 tr, sk 2 stitches, 8tr, (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row* repeat from * to * to last 9 stitches, 8tr, 2tr into last stitch.
Row 20 (filet row): 3ch, 1tr into same place as ch, *4 x (1ch, sk 1 stitch, tr), sk 2 stitches, 4 x (tr, sk 1 stitch, 1ch), (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row*repeat from * to * to last 9 stitches, 4 x (tr, sk 1 stitch, 1ch), 2tr into last stitch.
Row 21 (solid row): 3ch, 1tr into same place as ch, *8 tr, sk 2 stitches, 8tr, (tr, 2ch, tr) into 2ch space from previous row* repeat from * to * to last 9 stitches, 8tr, 2tr into last stitch.
Repeat rows 20 & 21 twelve times - finishing with a solid row.
ADJUST AT THIS POINT - add more repeats of rows 20 & 21 if needed and write down total number of rows.
CREATE 2nd ARMHOLE
Join spare yarn to the 2nd peak from the edge - roughly 13 in from edge. MAKE SURE THIS MATCHES THE POINT WHERE YOU ATTACHED THE YARN FOR THE FIRST ARMHOLE.
29 ch - spans one peak and one trough (1 1/2 pattern repeats).
Join yarn to 2nd trough from point where you joined the yard and cast off - roughly 10 in from the other edge.
