Crow Print Shawl
Designed by : Brooke A
Campbell
Inspired by the coming of spring and the going of the crow, this shawl is a
quick knit in fingering weight yarn. The main pattern is the Haapsalu
"Crow's Foot," letting the memory of a few of winter's crows leave their
mark in knitting before spring entirely takes over. The crow foot itself is
enjoyable and easily memorized. Size is adjustable, with a border that can
be started after any full pattern repeat.
Things To Be Familiar With:
A knowledge of how to yarn over, knit, purl, knit two together, and slip knit pass slipped stitch is
necessary for this piece. Familiarity with central double decreasing is also encouraged, but it is
explained in the stitch key. Chart reading is critical.
Materials:
2 balls of KnitPicks Palette, colour Grass (roughly 1.5 balls used)
set of US 10.5 ( 6.5mm) needles
tapestry needle to weave in ends
Stitch markers, if desired
Size After Blocking:
The piece featured in this pattern blocked out to 2 yards (72 inches) across and 32 inches long.
Your piece may block larger or smaller depending upon needle and yarn choice and your
personal style of knitting.
Gauge:
No gauge is given for this piece as lace gauge is personal preference. I would recommend
swatching with different size needles using one to two repeats of the central pattern, blocking as
you will for the final shawl to determine what you would like to use.
Pattern Notes:
The charts are charted up to the center stitch. In the border and main chart, this is shown by
seperating the edge stitches and central stitch with a thick red line. You will knit the chart right to
left to the center stitch, knit the center stitch, then knit the chart once more, ending with two edge
stitches in place of the center stitch. For row by row instructions, you will knit from * to *, work

the center stitch, and then repeat * to * again. Instructions in [ ] are the crow pattern.
