2 Kaieteur Shawl Notes: The extra-long gradient of this shawl is achieved by regularly alternating between two skeins of yarn. To create the extra-long gradient with 2 gradient cakes: Find the same color on both skeins. Work cast-on and set up rows in skein one. Attach skein two, without breaking skein one, and work rows and 2 of chart. Work rows and 4 with skein one. Continue working two rows from one skein, then working two rows from the other skein in this manner for the length of the shawl. For Mini Skeins: work the same as gradient cakes, using the same color of skeins from each pack, changing colors as you run out of both mini skeins All rows are worked with two edge es in garter. These es as well as the center are not included on the charts. Odd rows are charted and worked from right to left. Work each RS (odd) row as follows: K2 (edge es), work chart, K (center ), work chart again, K2 (edge es). Even rows are not included on the charts and should be worked as: K2, purl to last two es, K2. In order to increase the size of the shawl: Work additional repeats of chart 2. Each additional repeat of chart 2 will result in an increase of 2 es per row. Or work additional repeats of chart. Each additional repeat of chart will result in an increase of 64 es. Boxed areas of charts indicate pattern repeat across rows. See instructions below for additional information. Use markers at center and between pattern repeats if necessary. Markers between pattern repeats may need to be moved between charts and chart repeats.

5 About the Designer Joyce Fassbender is a biology lecturer in New York City. She recently got a puppy that she s training to be a good knitting dog, but not to knit because, sadly, it can t hold the needles. When not playing with the puppy, she s obsessing over shawls and lace.
