{"product_id":"blaka-einband-series-triangular-lace-scarf-knitting-pattern","title":"Blaka (Einband Series) — Triangular Lace Scarf Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlaka is a small triangular lace scarf by Védís Jónsdóttir from Ístex’s Einband pattern series, knitted back and forth in one ball of black Einband, from 2 stitches at the point up to the long top edge. The lace chart is Barbara Walker’s The Bat — by our reading of the chart, three bats, one above the point and two side by side higher up — and the two sloping sides get a row of crocheted chain loops. One version, one size, 40 × 72 cm. Black (0059) is still made. Lopi 31 has a different pattern with the same name, a sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size — 40 × 72 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lace chart, The Bat by Barbara Walker, with a key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crocheted chain-loop edging, written out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

Two stitches are cast on and the first five rows are written out: the wrong-side rows are purled — or knitted from left to right, as you prefer — and the right-side rows are P1, yo, P1, then P1, yo, P1, yo, P1. Then comes the lace chart, which shows only the right-side rows: each has 2 purl stitches and a yarn over at both edges, so the triangle grows by 2 stitches on every right-side row, and the wrong-side rows are plain. The lace is The Bat — bat motifs outlined in eyelets, with small V shapes of eyelets between them and a row of eyelets across the top. After the chart come one wrong-side row, a right-side row of P2, K1, P1 rib and P2, and a loose bind-off in pattern from the wrong side. With the 3 mm hook, chain loops are crocheted along the two sloping sides, from one top corner round the point to the other — 7 chains, then 1 single crochet in the edge at every other eyelet — but not along the bound-off edge. Last, the scarf is rinsed by hand and laid flat to dry, stretched, with every chain loop and the edges pinned out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir, with the charted knitting pattern The Bat by Barbara Walker — pattern from Ístex’s Einband pattern series, no. 4.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601359372341,"sku":"PAT-EN-BLAKA-EINBAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/einband-blaka-1_ef6c9268-dc45-4940-a816-5f81adf00c19.jpg?v=1791013212","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/blaka-einband-series-triangular-lace-scarf-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
