Blooming Stitch Shawl by Mary R. White–Stitch Counts by Row. A Boring Post if You Are Not Knitting This Shawl. Sorry About That.

I am knitting the seven leaves/ eight blooms size. I will update this post at these times: (1) after five repeats of Chart C  {This has been done} (2) completion of Chart C   {done} (3) completion of Chart D {done}. My goal is to have this done by the end of the month. I guess we’ll see!

For these counts, I include the 10 edge stitches. In the pattern, Mary White does not include the 10 edge stitches in her counts.

Here are the stitch counts, by row:

Begin with 19 stitches.

Chart A

Row 1: inc 6 for a total of 25

Row 3: inc 6 for a total of 31

Row 5: inc 6 for a total of 37

Row 41: dec 12 for a total of 217

Row 43: dec 12 for a total of 205

Chart Cfor this chart, I did 9 repeats. When I worked, I reset my row counter to row 44 each time I began a new repeat, so that I counted rows 45-54 nine times in total. For this reference, I wrote each pattern row number, then the stitch count for each repeat in brackets next to the row number. Each row number has nine brackets next to it, one for each repeat I did.

Row 45: inc 8 sts each time this row is done for a total of  [213] [237] [261] [285] [309] [333] [357] [381] [405]

Row 47: inc 4 sts each time this row is done for a total of [217] [241] [265] [289] [313] [337] [361] [385] [409]
