Hello, dear knitters and crocheters. Welcome to the third episode where I teach you how to knit a triangular shawl with this interesting open pattern I call peacock pattern. We started the triangle in the first episode here at this spot, in the middle. This shawl is knitted by Scheepjes, it's called Whirl. It's this kind of gradual coming and going of colors in several shades, starting with several colors. It's a very nice yarn. This particular one is 50% cotton, 50% acrylic, which of course is kind of the spring and summer version. But this company has already started making a merino version, which of course I'm much more excited about because there's not as much acrylic and there's merino wool, so it's warm as well. We started learning this pattern in the first episode and in the second episode. And I have to say, then, that the second episode ended very ingloriously because I didn't notice that I was out of memory card and I knitted merrily on and on and on and on and on and on and on, and 10 minutes later I realized that I wasn't actually knitting at all. I'm not going to go back and rehash it though. I've knit two more rows since the episode ended. And now we can see where we are. Here's actually the first pattern. To get back to the scarf, we're actually knitting from this point. That is, we're now four rows behind the second large stitches, and now we're tapering into the crossing here. So I'm not actually going to knit over here, I'm just going to explain the next step, because this is actually repeating the pattern. We're actually, when we're knitting according to the previous second part, we're knitting two stitches to the right here and two stitches to the left here after the hole. This actually, and here we're knitting the same number of stitches in between, still the 8, and by actually decreasing and knitting to the left here and to the right here, we're getting the stitches closer together like this until we actually get to the point that actually behaves exactly like this at the beginning. That is, here, when we only have two stitches, we'll cross them. We've already learned crossing, and we've learned it down here, and we've learned it here, so the crossing will occur exactly the same way here in this spot. I'm going to come back again, so you can see here, when you finish weaving, and here, here at the top, it's going to cross. So it will actually cross at the beginning, above this peacock pattern, and here in front of the center, on the other side, just the same. It will then come back, that back row will intertwine the image, as you learned in the previous videos, and the moment I'm here at this point and have crossed over and I'll be back again, I'm going to cast on those 8 stitches into this one here again. And the scarf actually expands with that. So if you follow the pattern from the first piece and the second piece, you're actually going to naturally expand the shawl by that one piece of the pattern each time, and you're going to gradually expand and cast on and actually increase the triangle. That means you don't need a written pattern, you just have to think about how the pattern knits and you can go on and make it bigger and bigger and you'll still know how to progress because that's what you've learned in the first two parts. So I apologize very much for ending the previous part, which is why I recorded this third one, to explain what actually occurred, why it ended so quickly, and I definitely think this one is a very simple pattern, which is very fancy and beautiful and can be used right here on these triangular scarves, whether they're solid colours or melange yarns or ones that go from colour to colour, it's just a very versatile pattern and it always makes a very beautiful triangular scarf. He naturally makes the triangle. You can either end it very simply, of course, or I've ended it here with a pattern that unfortunately doesn't really stand out on the cotton, but there are actually these simple holes. Knit two stitches, cast on one, knit two, cast on one and then it's cast off. So very simple. If it was merino, it would stay and it would be beautifully open, the holes and the pattern. With the cotton, especially when it's still combined with that very stretchy acrylic, the pattern comes back a little bit and closes up those holes and it's not as noticeable, it's just not quite the ideal material for exactly this pattern here to make for us. Otherwise it's a very nice yarn. I think it would be excellent for spring and summer projects, like some summer blouses. And I would think that knitting, say, a raglan from the top down might suit this yarn very well. Like a sleeveless blouse, for example. So we'll certainly show what we can do with this yarn in the summer months. It's very effective in many colours and we'll definitely be stacking it in all colours as we go along. We now have this yarn on offer, and you can find all the yarns and needles I've been knitting on on the website www.katrincola.cz I would be very happy if you would share my videos on your Facebook pages, so that your friends can see how to knit, for example, such a beautiful triangular shawl, or where to buy the yarn for it. This will of course support the making of the videos the most, because besides the fact that I enjoy it, it is of course also a promotion of the yarn and needles that I sell on www.katrincola.cz So I would like to add one more sentence to this, because I often get letters from knitters that sometimes they say that it is not professional, that I make videos that are not professional quality and that I should improve it and they are sometimes very critical, which I understand that not everyone likes, but I would like to point out that I am absolutely pure professional, that means like. As for the camera, I have a small camera on a tripod, I process the videos myself, I shoot the videos myself, no one helps me with that, so given that I'm a knitter and a businesswoman, I can't be expected to have professional videos and it might not even be good, maybe it's far better to be wrong sometimes, sorry sometimes, that's me and I'm definitely not going to change. So I would recommend to those who don't like my videos that they just don't watch them for them, that's absolutely the best solution because I'm definitely never going to please everyone. But I'm having fun and I definitely have a million ideas that I'm going to work into the videos over time and I'm definitely not done yet, so you have that to look forward to. I'm glad I could show you something new again, goodbye, goodbye.
