Help with baby shawl

Hi there, looking for help understanding/ working out a pattern. Everything is great upto 22nd Rnd. Following the pattern given I cannot figure out how to do the 7 Rnds and end up with 320 stitches. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. 16428783068972364275848126595000|540x1200 .

Welcome to KH!
How many sts do you have before you start round 21? I can see that at the end of the round you have 96sts, Did you start with 64?
What is the name of your pattern?

Hi there thanks for replying. It is Kingcole 4943. I started with 8 and increased to 16, then 32, then 64 then 96. I have attached pic to see the pattern.

Should have said I have done 4 Rnds and had to stop at 301 stitches. My increases went from 96 to 128 to 170 to 226 and then 301.

You should be increasing 32sts per repeat of row 21. When you repeat row 21 times 7, that’s 224sts increased. 224+96= 320 sts.
So after each repeat of row 21 the stitch count should be 128, 160, 192, 224,256,288 and finally 320. It may help to place markers after maybe every 2 repeats of the (k1, k1fb) just to keep on track.


This is going to be lovely!

Thank you so much. This makes so much sense now. Pity the pattern doesn’t say to increase the knit stich with each round. It will look lovely once I unpick and redo. This is it so far. Lucky I don’t have too many rows to pick bag. Thanks again.

It looks beautiful!
Maybe a lifeline would make any future mishaps (not that there will be) easier to take back?

It looks a bit like a pi increase shawl? Yours looks very nicely worked.
