Holden**

Shawl with knitting needles, the diagram and description of it are given below, is knitted from the center of the longest edge. First, the shawl is knitted with a simple stocking stitch with increases along the edges and the center. The "Holden" pattern is used to decorate the openwork edge of the product. And the shawl is finished with a "picot" trim.

Materials and tools

1. Circular knitting needles, size 3-4 mm, with a length of about 80 cm.
2. The yarn is thin, preferably natural – wool, mohair. You can add silk thread for strength. One skein is enough for a baktus, and for a full shawl you need 2-3 skeins of 100 g.
3. Markers for indicating increases.
4. Beads, if used, must first be strung onto the yarn. They should pass freely through the thread.

Beginning of knitting a shawl

To avoid a large hole forming in this place, you need to start by knitting the so-called ribbon. It consists of 2 loops of the cast-on row. A ribbon of 5 rows is knitted from them. Then 3 loops are cast on along the long edge and 2 more along the second edge. As a result, there are 7 loops on the needle to start knitting.

Stocking stitch (front stitch)

The front side is knitted with knit stitches. The back side is knitted with purl stitches.

Job Description

1. From here on the first 2 and last 2 loops are garter stitches. So the ribbon will continue along the entire length of the product. The central loop (it is better to mark it with a marker) is highlighted with yarns in the front rows. This is how the expansion along the central part is obtained.
2. The increases on the sides of the shawl can be done in any way:

• yarn overs after the first two loops of the ribbon and before the last two;
• by knitting two loops from one loop behind the front and back wall.

3. The shawl is knitted in stocking stitch, with increases on the sides and in the center to the desired size.
4. The Holden pattern is simple. It combines knit stitches, yarn overs, and stitches knitted together to the left or right.

Designations:

• - front loop on the wrong side;

○ — yarn over;

/ - 2 together one, tilt to the right;

\ — 2 loops of one, tilt to the left.

Black cells mean that there is no loop. White cells are stocking stitch. The purple color outlines the areas of the pattern adjacent to the shawl extensions. The rapport in the center is repeated as many fans as there are. It is knitted straight without changes.

The diagram shows one half of the triangle without the central loop with increases and the side strip with increases. That is, you need to knit as before, only instead of the stocking part, beautiful fans are knitted.

Pico

The knitting of the shawl is completed by closing the loops with a "picot". The tooth is formed by knitting from one loop on the right needle another one, as in crocheting, and again. The last loop is closed by inserting the left needle into the base of the picot and pulling out another loop from it.

It is pulled through this loop on the right knitting needle. That's it, the tooth is ready. There can be any number of closed loops between the picots. The main thing is that they are distributed at equal intervals. At the end, cut the thread, hide the end in the product.

End of work

The shawl should be washed in shampoo or other mild detergent. Then lightly squeezed, wrapped in a towel. The knitting should be dried in a straightened form on a large flat surface covered with a clean cloth.
