Pattern Notes
This pattern is worked top-down, with double increases worked each RS row, and single increases worked each WS row, increasing by 6sts every two rows.
There is a 3-stitch garter stitch edge on this pattern. The charts do not show this edge. So, you’ll do:
K3 (the garter edge), whatever you’re being instructed to do, k3 (the other garter stitch edge).
To work the Bud Stitch: k3tog tbl, but do not slip stitches off of the needle, yo, k3tog tbl into the same stitches again, then slip stitches off of needle. There will be no change to the stitch count.

row 3 of bud stockinette stitch needs to say 9 stitches remaining instead of 6 thanks
You’re correct! I’ve just changed it. Thanks for letting us know!
Hello, Is it possible to have the name of the colors used for this shawl.
Thank you!
I didn’t realize it was missing! I’m so sorry!
They’re O’Hara (red) and Strawberry Yogurt (the pink/white). I’ve also just added it to the pattern.
I can’t print the charts at all….Lovely pattern
We’ve heard this feedback from knitters! We’re going to create PDFs of the charts so you can print them more easily. Look for that this week. We’ll announce it on the blog.
That’ll be great….thanks so much…
I cannot print the pattern with usable charts
I just can’t understand why there are so many different images of the shawl, but the charts are so tiny that you cannot use them…
Did you ever try to print this? I would love to knit this pattern and I like it, but the print is of no help for me unfortunatley
Thanks for your interest in the shawl!
If you click on each chart they enlarge and you can print them that way.
Yes, the charts I can print. But what about the pattern description? I can not print that also.
That should print right from the browser.
Hi Connie! We’re going to create PDFs of the charts. We’ll announce it on the blog later this week. Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for the free pattern! It is such a gorgeous pattern!
You’re welcome! We’re thrilled that Francoise published this one with us!
Thank you so much dear talented Franchie!! I love your great works, and i am so happy for this amazing shawl. I can’t thank you enough…
She really made a wonderful shawl, right? And in the two colors there are so many options!
Thanks for the lovely pattern-will look fantastic with my dyed yarns!
It’ll be beautiful in hand dyed yarns! What’s colors are you thinking?
Thank you!!! Great!
You’re welcome!

You’re welcome – enjoy!
