POEMA GLITTER SHAWL
DIFFICULTY = Intermediate
YARN = POEMA GLITTER by Laines du Nord col n. 100
CIRCULAR NEEDLES = size 4 mm tips and 60/80 cm cable
OTHERS = darning needle, stitch markers, scissors, tape measure.
10 x 10 cm = 19 stitches and 25 rows in stockinette stitch using size 3.5 mm tips
It is very important to check your gauge and measure the tension correctly to achieve the same results and measurements as the pattern. If the gauge is different, try adjusting the needle size up or down by half a size until you get the correct measurement.
RS = right side of work
WS = wrong side of work
SM = stitch marker
M-SM = move the stitch marker
col = color
st/sts = stitch/stitches
k = knit
p = purl
yo = yarn over
rep = repeat
rep** = repeat from * to *
bind off = bind off (using the skp technique)
skp = slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped st over (slip 1 st knit-wise, k1, pass slipped st over).
M1R: 1 increase to the right (insert the left needle from back to front under the strand between 2 stitches you have worked and knit 1)
M1L: 1 increase to the left (insert the left needle from front to back under the strand between 2 stitches you have worked and knit 1 through the back loop)
sl1 p-wise = slip 1 stitch purl-wise, with yarn in back of work.
sl2 p-wise = slip 2 stitches purl-wise, with yarn in back of work.
k2tog = knit 2 stitches together (insert right needle through the next 2 sts on the left needle and knit them together = 1 st).
k3tog = knit 3 stitches together (insert right needle through the next 3 sts on the left needle and knit them together = 1 st).
k3tog tbl = knit 3 stitches together through back loop (k3tog inserting the needle through back loops)
SINGLE SIZE = 150 gr.
