Such a thing, perhaps, is in the wardrobe of almost every fashionista. What is a palatine and how does it fit? Knitting or crocheting is easy to complete. The main thing is to choose a thinner thread, and a more beautiful pattern.
Either a cloak or a shawl
Usually this product is made like an ordinary scarf. The difference is that the stole is quite wide and long. To make the cloak light, despite its large volume, thin threads are used. In this case, a hook or knitting needles should be taken that are not appropriate for the material, but two to three times larger in volume. Experienced needlewomen often use a knitting fork to get the most mesh and airy cloth . A combination of several ornaments is popular, in which the openwork cloth alternates with a solid. The forms of stoles also vary. One of the original solutions is to make a shawl-shaped cape. To do this, you need to slightly change the technology and principles of work. This article describes how to knit a stole with knitting needles in the form of a triangular small cape. First select the openwork pattern and calculate the required number of loops. You can also prepare an approximate pattern, according to which it will be easier to navigate during work, periodically applying a product to it.
How to knit a palatine with crescent-shaped knitting needles? The implementation of the openwork
The cape is obtained in an unusual original form due to the descent of the loops on the sides of the border and the formation of the middle part by reduction. We will analyze the main features of how such a stole fits with knitting needles. The usual way of doing work in the form of a wide rectangular canvas cannot be used. First of all, it is necessary to change the direction of knitting. If usually the cloak is made long and wide enough, performing it from the bottom up, then the proposed model is more reminiscent of the shape of a shawl. One side of the crescent-shaped palatine is straight, and the other is curved in an arc. It is with this semicircular line that knitting begins. Dial so many loops so that the width of the canvas is approximately 180-200 cm. It is most convenient to use circular knitting needles. Knit with an openwork pattern of 20-25 cm, reducing at the end of each row on both sides two loops. Having received a fairly wide lace border, proceed to the next step.
The formation of the middle part of the cape
Next, knit openwork stole with knitting needles, changing the main ornament. Walk with a lace to the middle of the row, and then switch to the garter stitch, in which all the loops are made face on both sides of the product. Continue working in the same direction for approximately another 5-6 cm, and then turn it 90 °. The next row will be equal to two segments - to the middle of the canvas and the same from this point, dividing the product into two equal parts. As a result, all the loops will be divided into three parts, the middle of which will be 10-12 cm wide. Perform it with a garter stitch, grabbing at the end of each row one loop from the openwork cloth. So the front part in the form of an inverted trapezoid will gradually form, expanding. In this way, knit the stole with knitting needles until all the openwork loops are converted to the front ones, joining in the middle. Then close the last row with a hook and tie it with the whole product in a circle, decorating with finishing cloves. The stole shawl is ready!
