Jhumka (Type of shawl)
This shawl isn't so easily knitted, but it worse trying. It looks great! Below you can find a scheme for your helping.
Yarn
– approx. 2 skeins or 550 yards of the Cascade 220 Fingering in the Goldenrod colorway.
Needles
– A pair of US size 6 (4 mm) needles for knitting
– US size 8 (5 mm) needle for casting on loosely (optional)
Notions:
– 2-4 Stitch markers (if using)
– Blocking pins / wires
– Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Gauge (after blocking)
– 20.5 stitches and 27 rows = 4 inches, measured over the Jhumka lace pattern
Finished dimensions
– 14.5 inches wide and 61 inches long
Abbreviations:
RS – Right side
WS – Wrong side
YO – yarn over
k2tog – Knit 2 together
ssk – slip, slip, knit the 2 slipped stitches together
(s2, k1, psso) – slip two stitches together as if to knit; knit 1 stitch; pass slipped stitches over the knit stitch (2 stitches decreased)
Jhumka stitch pattern (worked over multiples of 22 stitches and 28 rows):
Row 1 (RS) – *k3, k2tog, YO, k1, YO, ssk, k6, k2tog, YO, k1, YO, ssk, k3*, repeat from * to * for pattern
Row 2 (WS) and all WS rows – purl all stitches
Row 3 – *k2, k2tog, YO, K3, YO, ssk, k4, k2tog, YO, k3, YO, ssk, k2*, repeat from * to *
Row 5 – *k1, (k2tog, YO) twice, k1, (YO, ssk) twice, k2, (k2tog, YO) twice, k1, (YO, ssk) twice, k1*, repeat from * to *
Row 7 – *[(k2tog, YO) twice, k3, (YO, ssk) twice] repeat twice *, repeat from * to *
Row 9 – *k2, YO, ssk, YO, (s2, k1, psso), YO, k2tog, YO, k4, YO, ssk, YO, (s2, k1, psso), YO, k2tog, YO, k2 *, repeat from * to *
Row 11 – *k3, YO, ssk, k1, k2tog, YO, k6, YO, ssk, k1, k2tog, YO, k3*, repeat from * to *
Row 13 – *k4, YO, (s2, k1, psso), YO, k8, YO, (s2, k1, psso), YO, k4*, repeat from * to *
Row 15 – *k5, (YO, ssk) twice, k4, (k2tog, YO) twice, k5*, repeat from * to *
Row 17 – *k6, (YO, ssk) twice, k2, (k2tog, YO) twice, k6*, repeat from * to *
Row 19 – *k4, (k2tog, YO) twice, k6, (YO, ssk) twice. k4*, repeat from * to *
Row 21 – *k3, (k2tog, YO) twice, k8, (YO, ssk) twice, k3*, repeat from * to *
Row 23 – same as row 15
Row 25 – same as row 17
Row 27 – same as row 19
Row 28 (WS) – purl all stitches
Repeat rows 1 to 28 for pattern
Pattern Instructions:
Loosely cast on 74 stitches using the larger needle (if using). I used the long-tail method to cast on.
Switch to smaller needles. Knit 7 rows.
On row 8 (WS), knit 4 stitches, purl 66 stitches, knit the last 4 stitches.
From this point on, the first and last 4 stitches will always be knit to form a garter stitch border, and the Jhumka stitch pattern will be worked over the center 66 stitches (22 x 3).
Stole body:
On row 9 (RS), knit 4 stitches; work row 1 of the Jhumka chart /stitch pattern 3 times (placing stitch markers between every repeat if you want); knit the last 4 stitches.
On the next row (WS), knit 4 stitches; purl 66; knit the last 4 stitches (all WS rows are worked this way).
Continue, as above, to knit rows 3 to 28 of the Jhumka pattern, maintaining a garter stitch border throughout.
Repeat rows 1 to 28 of the Jhumka stitch pattern a total of 14 times. Then knit rows 1 – 14 of the pattern once more (ending with row 14 – a WS row).
(You can work fewer or more repeats of the pattern to make the stole shorter or longer. Just remember to end with row 14.)
To finish:
Knit 7 rows
Loosely bind off all stitches knitwise (on the WS).
Block to desired measurements. Weave in ends.
