A fritillary is a very pretty butterfly that I had the honor of befriending this past summer.

The Oxford dictionary lists fritillary as a butterfly with orange-brown wings that are checkered with black.

This shawl certainly has the orange of the butterfly’s wings and a checkered pattern.

The yarn featured in this design is a series of separate gradient skeins allowing each segment to feature a different color.

Unlike a continuously dyed gradient hank, the separate skeins allow an easy way to match the segment and the color.

I like to explore different ways that stitches can be worked to give different textures and effects.  In this shawl the (US terminology) double crochet (dc) is featured in five different ways:

1. done in the standard way
2. as part of a cluster
3. as two double crochet done together (dc2tog)
4. as three double crochet done together (dc3tog)
5. what I call a joined base double crochet (joined base-dc).

I’ve included instructions in the pertinent segments for the cluster and joined-base-dc.

I designed a beaded butterfly that is part of the segments for colors #3 and #4 in honor of my fluttery summer friend.

At the transition points between color segments, the piece has a tendency to cup. Make sure you keep the chain stitches loose. If necessary, use a larger hook.

An interesting feature of this pattern is that it has both side-to-side and top-down aspects. The first color is worked in one way, creating rows that are vertical (running north-south on the finished piece). The shawl is then turned, and the other 3 colors are worked in the other way, with horizontal rows (running east-west on the finished piece).

Abbreviations

Please see our standard abbreviations.

Cluster

• Cluster at the end of a row: yo, insert hook in st indicated, pull up lp, yo, pull through 2 lps, yo, insert hook in st indicated, pull up lp, yo, pull through 2 lps, yo, pull through 3 lps
• Cluster at the beginning of a row: ch2, dc

Because of the construction of the cluster done this way, the cluster on the following row is worked into the dc portion of the stitch. To focus on this, the following row’s cluster is specifically called out to work into the dc.

Tr-cluster

• Tr-cluster at the end of a row: yo 2 times, insert hook in st indicated, pull up lp, (yo, pull through 2 lps) 2 times, yo 2 times, insert hook in st indicated, pull up lp,( yo, pull through 2 lps) 2 times, yo, pull through 3 lps

Shawl Instructions

Color #1

Color #2

• The direction you are working on the shawl changes at this point (see diagram).
• To maintain the long slender triangular shape, there is a slight increase at the center point and the beginning/end of the rows.
• Along the straight edge, each of the rows begins and ends with a treble cluster (tr-cluster).
• For the stitch count, the (ch3, tr) at the beginning of a row is considered a tr-cluster. Because of the construction of the tr-cluster done this way, the tr-cluster on the following row is specifically called out to work into the tr.
• We have detailed how to create tr-clusters in the abbreviations section above.

• For the stitch count, the (ch3, tr) at the beginning of a row is considered a tr-cluster. Because of the construction of the tr-cluster done this way, the tr-cluster on the following row is specifically called out to work into the tr.

Here is a visual representation of the beaded butterfly that occurs in colors #3 & 4.  In this graph, the dots represent the beads.  The beads are at the TOP of the row (row 1 = no beads, row 2 = 10 beads, etc)

• Instead of a standard dc2tog, this next segment uses what I’ve termed “joined base double crochet in next 2 sc” (joined-base-dc): yo, insert hook in 1^st sc, pull up lp, insert hook in 2^nd sc, pull up lp, yo, pull through 3 lps, yo, pull through 2 lps
• When working into the joined-base-dc, it is treated just like a regular dc. For this reason, I did not differentiate between dc and joined-base-dc on row 3.

• In rows 2-6, stitches are worked into the chain stitches as well as into chain-spaces. Pay attention to what is written – if it does not say ch-sp then it is worked into the chain itself. In row 2, keep the ch11 loose enough to work stitches into the individual chains. The same holds true for the ch3 in rows 3-4.
