Pattern--Cotton Candy Shawl

Cotton Candy Shawl

Yarn: Bulky weight organic cotton Sprout, 4 skeins. This yarn is a slightly nubby yarn by Classic Elite and is part of their Verde collection. I used the color called Pea Blossom. 109 yards per skein.
(See adaptations section at end of pattern.)

The basics.
One side of the marker will be the plain garter stitch field, the other side is the lace section, with a 4 row repeat. On the field side you will increase 1 stitch every right side row until you reach length desired. Once there, I knit one lace repeat with no increases or decreases. Then began decreases in the field while on row one of lace pattern, decrease until down to 6 stitches and cast off. Only change the garter field from Increase to Even to Decrease sections when the lace section is at the end of a lace pattern repeat.

Begin.
Cast on 6 stitches. (2 for garter field, 4 for lace section.)

Increase section.
Row 1 (right side): K 1, YO, K1, place marker and begin lace: YO, P2tog, , K1, YO twice, K1 (3 field stitches, 6 lace stitches)
Row 2: K2, P1 K1, YO, P2tog, slip marker, Knit to end
Row 3, K to one stitch before marker, YO, K1, slip marker, YO P2tog, K4
Row 4, Bind off 2 stitches, K1, YO, P2tog, slip marker, Knit to end.

Continue knitting as established. On the field section knitting to 1 stitch before marker on right side rows, and plain knitting on wrong side, and repeating the lace section as above.

Even section
Once you reach length desired, or are reaching near the end of first half of your yarn, knit 4 rows with out increases:
Row one: K to 3 stitches before marker, K2tog, YO, K1, slip marker, and row one of lace.
Row 2: Knit row 2 of lace, slip marker, Knit to end.
Row 3: K to 3 stitches before marker, K2tog, YO, K1, slip marker, Knit row 3 of pattern.
Row 4: Knit Row 4 of lace, slip marker, Knit to end

You can continue even section as long as desired, but once you finish 2nd skein, or half of your yarn, finish lace row 4, and start decrease section.

Decrease section.
Row one: K to 4 stitches before marker, K2tog, YO, K2tog slip marker, and row one of lace.
Row 2: Knit row 2 of lace, slip marker, Knit to end.
Row 3: K to 4 stitches before marker, K2tog, YO, K2tog, slip marker, Knit row 3 of pattern.
Row 4: Knit Row 4 of lace, slip marker, Knit to end

Continue decrease section until down to 2 field stitches and 4 lace stitches. Should be at end of lace repeat.
Bind off after row 4.

Adaptations. You can change the lace to a pattern of your choice. Just find a lace edging and make sure the final row bind offs occur on a wrong side row. And make the changes between increase, even and decrease sections at end of the lace pattern repeat.
I made another out of dk homespun alpaca with a different lace pattern.  Warm and lovely.
