OBSESSED WITH QUALITY YARN SINCE 1952
Ripple
Design Karen S Lauger // Lykkefanten
The inspiration for the Ripple shawl stems from Løfberg’s works, where his woven pieces
featuring wave motifs play a central role. The dynamic lines and rhythmic patterns of the waves
are translated into a soft and elegant design that mirrors the movement of the sea in the shawl.

Technique Workflow
ABBREVIATIONS Ripple shawl is knitted from the neck outward, back
st(s): stitch(es) and forth on a circular needle.
k: knit
tog: together It begins with an eight-shaped cast-on, followed by
tbl: through the back loop garter stitch in Saga and elongated stitches in Tilia.
RS: right side
WS: wrong side Increases are made on both sides on all right-side rows,
as well as on specific increase rows throughout the
M1L (left-leaning increase) shawl.
With the left needle, lift the strand between the two
stitches from front to back and knit it through the back Finally, the shawl is finished with an I-cord while
loop. binding off all stitches.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
Figure eight cast on
Hold two needles (or needle tips) parallel in your left
hand. Wrap the yarn in a figure 8 around the needles as
follows (note that you work from left to right): Hold the
yarn against the front of the bottom needle and bring
the working yarn between the needles, behind, and
over the top needle. Then bring the yarn from above
the top needle, between the needles to the back, and
wrap down and under the bottom needle, and back to
the front again. Continue wrapping the figure 8 until
you have the desired number of stitches cast on.
Knitted cast on
*Knit 1 stitch, but let the original stitch stay on the left
needle, bring the new stitch on the right needle back to
the left needle, so that the stitch is twisted when slipped
back*, repeat from * to * until the desired number of
stitches.
