Yarn over increases quickly expand the shape. Garter stitch short row wedges add length to one side forming rays that gradually increase in size. The repetitive knit stitches and rhythmic short rows are easy to work while still maintaining your interest, a perfect travel project! Built in I-cord edges and an I-cord bind off outline the entire shape for a clean finish. Choose one color or create a striped version using yarns from your stash for a striped effect.

Change colors at the beginning of any RS row. If you want to have a striped look like the large striped version, then add an accent stripe for the yarn over RS and WS rows like Rows 7 \u0026amp; 8, Rows 9 \u0026amp; 10, Rows 11 \u0026amp; 12, etc… These accent stripes feature a contrasting color for only 2 rows (or 1 garter ridge). Then, knit the entire short row wedge in another color. For strong graphic contrast, select yarn over accent stripes (the single garter ridge stripes) that are much brighter or darker than the short row wedge colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a 3-color faded version of Dotted Rays, follow the original PDF for Dotted Rays along with these color fading notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast on and begin with color A (the lightest color).\u003cbr\u003eOnce you have approximately 30g remaining of color A, begin striping color A \u0026amp; color B together using each color for 2 rows. When you start striping colors, try to introduce color A when you begin a new short row wedge. For example, start striping colors A \u0026amp; B on any numbered row like Row 23 or Row 25. These are the \"yo twice\" rows which begin a new short row wedge.\u003cbr\u003eOnce you finish color A, use color B on its own until you have about 30g remaining of color B. Then stripe color B \u0026amp; color C together for 2 rows each until you are out of color B. \u003cbr\u003eFinish the shawl with C on its own.\u003cbr\u003eYou can bind off after completing any even numbered WS row. For example, you can bind off early after completing Row 30 or you can bind off after Row 32. If you have more yarn and want to continue knitting the large size, you can bind off after Rows 34, 36, or 38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWestknits Workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVenture into the world of Westknits with my series of online workshops.
