Trang 1See The Light Shawl
| designed this shawl, which | named the "See The Light Shawl", in
remembrance of my mother-in-law She passed away peacefully on the
19th of December, 2010, at the age of 89
The shawl begins at the center top starting with my mother-in-law's
favourite knitting pattern, the Feather & Fan From there open out rays,
sun rays, and, further down, cornflowers The edging comes in two
versions | started knitting this colourful shawl with the wool | soun on my
handspindle during the week my mother-in-law made her way to the other
side The first is pink and green The second is cornflower blue A
cornflower is painted on her urn, and she would have picked that flower if
she had seen it next to a path In the photographs, the colours don't
resemble the way they really look in the light that is outside right now
The pattern will be free, as all of my patterns, but | hope for donations for
eye surgeries for people in developing countries That is why | named the
shawl the "See The Light Shawl" My mother-in-law had cataract surgery
performed on both of her eyes, and she was happy to see colours again
other people so that they, too, could see the light and the colours again To honor her we asked for the same instead of flowers for her
funeral
It costs only 30 € or $40 to do cataract surgery on an eye in Bangladesh If some knitters who knit this shawl donate a small amount of money, many other people will see the light again Click here to see how you can donate by credit card to “Christoffel Blindenmission”, CBM, which has already done more than 10,138,000 eye surgeries and on average does one every minute

Please read the instructions carefully before beginning the shawl They
contain special that you should know How to do the beading: At a A stitch, a bead is placed onto the stitch after
knitting it; at a U1 knit stitch before knitting it
Important: The last stitch of a repeat on the left side of the chart, often A orl, is also the first stitch of the next section You have four
sections in the first chart, each framed by a knit stitch So there are five of these edge stitches in total, the single knit stitches in Setup Row B The yarnovers in Setup Row B divide the four sections Place a marker after every section/repeat
Trang 3Instructions:
Note: The shawl is divided into four sections, together approximately making a
semicircle You will knit it from the top middle (neck) down to the sides
Setup for the shawl:
Cast on 3 sts any way you like Knit 10 rows
Setup Row A: k3, pick up one stitch from every ridge to the side (5 stitches), k3 of the
cast on (= 11 stitches)
From here on, every even-numbered row is knit as follows: k3, p until 3 sts before the
end of the row, k3 Exception: O O If there are two yarnovers in a right-side row, p
and ptbl them in the following wrong-side row
The 3 egde stitches on each side are knit in every row and are not shown in the chart
Start to knit Chart 1 after the Setup Rows, through Row 55/56
In Row 57, the pattern splits up into twelve sections/repeats Continue with Chart 2
and Row 57 In Chart 2, Rows 53 and 55 are only repeated from the previous chart as
a reference to orient you
Continue with Chart 3 through Row 95 In Chart 3, Row 67 is only repeated from the
previous chart as a reference to orient you Important: It is correct that there is one
more increase/yarnover in Row 65 than the number of decreases The next pattern
Continue with Chart 4 and Row 97 In Chart 4, Row 95 is only repeated from the previous chart as a reference to orient you As the
pattern gets wider, it is split into left and right sections The middle stitch is shown in both charts; please knit it only once

lf you want to do the longer-edged version, continue with Chart 5 after Row 113 Chart 5 is only knit in the longer-edged version!!!
Trang 4The pattern splits into left and right sections again The middle stitch is shown in both charts; please knit it only once The [J squares (dummy=wildcard/placeholder) are not knit There are more stitches in the subsequent rows because of the earlier yarnover increases
Bind off:
Knotty Bind-Off Pattern: * k2tog, place thread in front of the left needle, slip the ktog stitch back onto the left needle with the thread still in front, place thread behind the left needle”
