JÄRNBLOMMA (IRON FLOWER-SHAPED

SCONCE) – CHILD’S WINTER SHAWL WITH BINGE
MOTIFS
This shawl, knitted with Svensk Ull, was inspired by the Swedish Halland Binge knitting tradition. The
shawl is worked from the bottom up in the Binge “Laholmsblomma” – Laholm flower motif. It is
shaped with decreases made along the shawl’s edges and center. The pattern section is knitted in
the round and later cut open so the rest of the shawl can be worked back and forth. The shawl is
finished with fringe along the lower edge.

TIPS & SHORTCUTS

To avoid questions: Before you begin knitting, read through the pattern.

Stitch count: Always knit or crochet a gauge swatch as recommended in the pattern. If
your stitch count doesn’t match the gauge given in the pattern, try again with larger or
smaller needles or hook. If your gauge doesn’t match that in the pattern, your item will not
be the correct size or shape.

Highlight the size you will knit or crochet throughout the pattern to make it easier to follow
the instructions.

Charts: It will be easier to follow a chart if you mark your row with a ruler and magnetic
board or sticky note.

Ease: The amount of ease included in our garments varies depending on the type and
shape of the garment. To determine the right size, we recommend that you first measure
your body. Then you can calculate the garment size depending on how much ease you
want the garment to have. The schematics for each piece show all the garment
measurements.

Two-color stranded knitting: When knitting more than 3-4 stitches of the same color, twist the
color strands around each other on the wrong side to avoid long strands or “floats” on the
back. If the yarns need to be twisted on several rows/rounds, make sure you do not stack the
twists in the same place to prevent the yarns from showing through on the right side.

Tips för hand dyed yarn: Make sure you have enough yarn to complete your project. The
colors may vary from time to time. To get a smooth color mix, you can alternate between
two skeins: knit two rows from one and two rows from another skein.
