Vintage Handknits
Evelyn Shawl by Sue Hanmore
Sue Hanmore has worked with Artesano for a number of years specialising in classic designs. This is a beautiful cape, tied with a simple i-cord knitted in Artesano alpaca 4ply. The body of the cape is knitted in a simple repeating lace pattern, and is worked from the bottom up. The bottom of the cape and the end of the tie are decorated with knitted flowers embellished with simple beads. This is an elegant yet easy to wear piece
Materials
Artesano 100% Alpaca 4-ply (100% alpaca, 204yd/187m per 50g skein), 4 skeins in Paraguay (7609) or c969 Wholemeal
Needles
1 circular needle, size 4mm 1 pair Brittany 3mm needles 2 x 3mm dpns Tapestry needle
Accessories
10 co-ordinating beads Stitch markers (optional)
Measurements
One size fits all. See schematic for finished measurements.
Tension
20 sts and 28 rows to 4” (10cm) on 4mm needles over stocking stitch. Use larger or smaller needles if needed to achieve the correct tension.
Pattern Note:
On the chart, squares with numbers designate the number of stitches worked (Purl on RS, Knit on WS); these numbers will change throughout and according to the number of decreases worked. You may find placing markers before the following 9-st lace sections helpful.
Instructions
Using 4mm circular needle, cast on 399 sts. Do not join in the round. Knit 2 rows. Eyelet Row (RS): K2, (yrn, k2tog, k1) to last st, k1. Purl 1 row.
Foundation Row: K2, (p1, k1) twice, k1, p20, k9, p20, (k7, p20, k9, p20) to last 7 sts, k2, (p1, k1) twice, k1. Next Row: K all knit sts, p all purl sts. Commence Pattern Row 1 (RS): Work Row 1 of Chart across, working 56-st repeat a total of six times. Continue working in Pattern as in Chart, decreasing on 5th and every following 6th row (as in chart) and reducing number of purl sts worked between panels accordingly (numbered squares on chart) until 231 sts remain, then cont in patt as est, decreasing as est but instead on every 4th row (this will be working a decrease as in the chart without the balancing yrn, as in Row 5), until 133 sts remain. No sts remain between lace panels (numbered squares). Work 1 WS row in patt. Next Row (RS): K2, (p1, k1) twice, k2togtbl, [patt 9 sts, (k2tog) twice, yrn, k1, yrn, (k2togtbl) twice] to last 17 sts, patt 9, k2tog, (k1, p1) twice, k2. (119 sts) Next Row: (K1, p1) 3 times, purl to last 6 sts, (p1, k1) 3 times. Next Row: K2, (p1, k1) twice, k2togtbl, [patt 7, (k2tog) twice, yrn, k1, yrn, (k2togtbl) twice] to last 15 sts, patt 7, k2tog, (k1, p1) twice, k2. (105 sts) Next Row: (K1, p1) 3 times, purl to last 6 sts, (p1, k1) 3 times. Purl 2 rows. Eyelet Row (RS): K2, (yrn, k2tog, k1) to last st, k1. Purl 2 rows. Cast off loosely on WS. Flowers (Make 10) Using 3mm needles, cast on 61 sts and knit 2 rows. Next Row: (K1, yrn, k3, k3tog, k3, yrn) to last st, k1. Next Row: Purl Repeat last 2 rows twice more. Next Row: (K2tog) to last st, k1. (31 sts) Next Row: (P2tog) to last st, p1. (16 sts) Break yarn, leaving long tail. Using tapestry needle, thread yarn through remaining sts, pull tight and fasten off, catching two end petals
together. Sew bead to centre of each flower.

Using dpns, knit i-cord as follows: Cast on 4 sts on to one dpn. *Knit across these sts, then slide all 4 sts to other end of dpn, carrying yarn behind work (do not turn). Rep from * until i-cord measures desired length. Thread through neck eyelet holes and sew 1 flower to each end. Weave in ends.
