Cyrcus Lace Shawl

#1

My question is I have cast on the 13 stitches and purled back to the beginning of the shawl. The written pattern is incorrect so I am following the chart.
Row1 sl1, k2, yo, k2tog, k1, yo twice, k2tog, k5 (14sts in total) does that mean to sl1 and continue working the remaining 13sts then work the sts k2, yo, k2tog, yo twice, k2tog, k5
Then work row2 sl1, p5, k1, p4, yo, k2tog, p2tog then same *p5, k1, p4, yo, k2tog, p2tog

Cast on 13 stitches, purl them back towards the body, the last stitch of the edging should be knitted as p2tog with the first stitch from the side of the body.

Now begin to work the edging’s pattern stitches as shown on the chart below, or follow the written instructions ALONG all the sides of the shawl. Gradually, all the stitches picked up along sides will be used as the edging is worked along.

Row1 sl1, k2, yo, k2tog, k1, yo twice, k2tog, k5 (14sts in total)
Row2 sl1, p5, k1, p4, yo, p2tog, p2tog with the 1st of the side stitches
Row3 sl1, k2, yo, k2tog, k9 (14sts in total)
Row4 sl1, p10, yo, p2tog, p2tog with the 1st of the side stitches
Row5 sl1, k2, yo, k2tog, k1, yo twice, k2tog, yo twice, k2tog, k4 (16sts in total)
Row6 sl1, p4, k1, p2, k1, p4, yo, p2tog, p2tog with the 1st of the side stitches
Row7 sl1, k2, yo, k2tog, k11
Row8 bind off loosely 3 sts, p9, yo, p2tog, p2tog with the 1st of the side stitches (13sts in total)

When you finish working all border stitches, loosely cast off stitches, leaving 20cm tail.

When you finish knitting your shawl, place it for 30 minutes in a lukewarm water with a bit of soap. Gently squeeze the shawl to remove the exceeding water (you can wrap in into a towel and step on it a couple of times). Stretch the shawl over a bed or carpet and block it using pins. When it’s completely dry, sew the cast-on/cast-off sides of the edging together.

Thank you for your help,

It looks like you cast on 13sts, purl back toward the body and the last stitch of the edging is p2tog with the first stitch of the body. This is purl all the way.

Then begin the chart with a mainly knit row in the text (row 1 in the chart). For row 1 in the chart it looks like 14sts then work row 2. So work row 1 over 14sts then go on to row 2.

I may not be understanding your question so let us know if you still need help.

Thank you for the correct link. You’re working the edging perpendicular to the body of the shawl and joining to the body of the shawl with a p2tog. Just work the edge 14 sts as given then turn and work back on those sts

Please edit your post to remove the directions. We can’t post a large portion of patterns due to designer copyright.
