Serangoon
This stole is a riff on Bakau and Jamie’s Shawl — some swags, a little mesh, some fabulous, billowy borders. Serangoon is quite lacy, almost ornate and yet it has a contemporary stylised look.
It is knitted in opposite directions from a central provisional cast on, one half at a time (it is important that you use the linked Winding Cast-On and not a crocheted or other provisional CO).
The beaded cast off (bind off) is optional and features just a small sprinkling of beads.
There is also an alternative crocheted bind off.
Difficulty level: not for beginners unless quite brave… mostly because of the mesh section. It’s not wildly difficult but requires focus and is a bit difficult to repair if something has gone wrong.
Pattern is charted and written out line by line.

Dear Asa,
I recently bought your Serangoon shawl pattern as I think it is truly beautiful. Although I haven’t started knitting yet, I have read the pattern (written instructions) and I’m somewhat confused by Step 3: Going Mesh.
I’m going to make the LARGE size and on page 6 the pattern refers to Chart B & B2. I’m fine with that.
On Page 2 construction info, it states to Work rows 6-8 of Chart B once, but replace the second rep with rows 6-8 of Chart B2 Large. There is no mention of a rep in the written instruction on Page 6.
This is where I’m confused.
Am I to knit rows 6-8 of Chart B, then rows 6-8 of Chart B2 consecutively?
The written instructions on Page 6 only stipulate that I do rows 6-8 of Chart B once??
Can you please clarify.

Hello & thank you for buying my pattern!
And… it’s a few years since I knitted this. I’ll have a look but I’m sad to say it won’t be until next week. If you need a speedier reply, I recommend visiting my group on Ravelry where there may be knitters with better ideas (not least, who may have knitted this more recently) and who can reply sooner. Sorry to be so unhelpful right now. Will get back to you next week!/åsa
