Faroese Worksheet #1
See the general information sheet regarding these terms and a diagram of a shawl.
These numbers will be used in designing your shawl on Worksheet #2.
Variables
X number to cast on ER even rows PR pattern rows for the lace
BS border stitches NR number of rows SD1 shoulder decrease at 44%
BGS beginning gusset stitches HS hypotenuse stitches SD2 shoulder decrease at 19%
EGS ending gusset stitches
Yarn________________________________________________Manufacturer________________________
Gauge_______ stitches per inch Needle size_______
Lace pattern along bottom of shawl? yes/no Lace pattern in gusset? yes/no
If yes:
Lace Pattern multiple_______ Number of rows for one Lace Pattern repeat (PR)______
YOK2tog Lace Rows to set off lace pattern? yes/no Number of rows between YOK2tog lace row and pattern _____
Beginning Gusset Stitches(BGS)_____ Number final gusset stitches(FGS)________
Number gusset stitches to be decreased BGS-FGS=_________
Gusset decreases per row___ Number of gusset decrease rows______
Number of border stitches (BS)_____ Border set off with YOK2tog yes/no
Type of final cast off: ___border eliminated ___sideways border
The Hypotenuse is the length of the bottom of the shawl from the edge to the gusset. In math terms it is the edge opposite the 90* angle in a right triangle.
Hypotenuse width______ times the Gauge _____ = Hypotenuse stitches (HS)_____
The total width of the bottom of the shawl is the sum of the variables listed below.
(BS)_____ + (HS)_____ + (BGS)_____ +(HS)_____ + (BS)_____ = _____(X)
Number of Even rows before decreases begin(ER)_____
(These usually equal the width of the border.)
(These usually equal the width of the border.)
44% of HS_____(SD1) 20% of SD1______
19% of HS_____(SD2) 25% of SD2______
