OD – Ovale Decke Shawl is a large deep-crescent shaped shawl based on a lesser-known Herbert Niebling pattern of the same name, Oval Doily in English. OD is worked ovale decke shawl from the top down with increases throughout the body. The original pattern is in an oval shape. I modified it into a softer deep-crescent shape. I hope to continue modifying these amazing designs into a shawl shape with well illustrated charts and clear instructions so more knitters will discover and enjoy the magic of Niebling. OD uses approximately 437-475 yards / 400-435 meters of fingering-weight yarns for the regular version and 920- 1600 yards/840-1450 meters of lace-weight yarns for the large version, as well as anything in between. The yardage is just a guide for OD is a very adaptable pattern. Knitters may elect to omit some sections thus allowing OD to be knitted in one 100-g skein (fingering or lace weight). It may OD also be knitted using multiple colors, a set of coordinated colors, as well as leftover yarns. OD may be knitted with or without beads. The number of beads used for applicable sections is listed on page 2. hayley | fingering weight envisionsf.com Skill Level This pattern is also designed to be knitted in multiple colors – a Intermediate.

Unlike jewelry however, there is no way to clean the inside of a bead once it’s knitted on your shawl! well as individual test knitter’s pages starting on page 18. The only silver lined beads that would work are those that are more opaque with AB finish because the tarnished core wouldn’t show through. 2 | OD – Ovale Decke Shawl – a Hayley Tsang Sather rendition based on Herbert Niebling’s Ovale Decke All images, illustrations, and text ©enVision 2018 | envisionsf.com Selecting Yarn Then select groups of three or five for a regular version, three, five, or seven for As with all Niebling adaptations, solid, semi-solid, subtle a large version. Look for subtle value change without a lot of contrast from one variegated yarns, as well as gradients are perfect for this color to the next. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Colors of pattern. If you are feeling adventurous, this pattern is also the similar value transitions well from one to the other seamlessly even when suitable for multiple colors. they are completely different hues (e.g., purple and green). To test if two or more yarns are of similar value, take a picture in black and white. Colors of the similar It can be as simple as ordering a solid end color of a gradient, value will appear as almost the same tone of gray. start from that color, and finish with a pop of contrasting color (perhps save a little of the beginning color to use as a pop You may, of-course, use new skeins and not leftover yarns for this. color). Test knit usage by colors/sections may be found starting on page 18. The best It can be also be a coordinated set of three to five mini skeins way to approach this is to find a test knit project your selection of yarn is the and knit each colors as follows without any color fusion/ most similar to and work the pattern accordingly while keeping an eye on the transition with an optional pop color: section-by-section usage to ensure a successful knit. Rows 1 to 44 – A Rows 45 to 48 – B Note Rows 49 to 58 – C The Vikkel Section creates a nice edge to the 3/5 picot bind off. Consider skipping Rows 59-64 – B Section G (regular) or Y (large) if you are running low on yarn – those are just Rows 65 to 96 – D extension of the mesh – and knit the Vikkel Section – H (regular) and Z (large) Row 97 – B instead. I recommend adding beads for the first Vikkel braid and doing a picot Rows 98 to 101 – E bind off after the second for Vikkel braids create longer than normal stitches Picot Bind Off – B making them perfect for beads. The extra space creates a pretty lace eyelet at the base of the picot bind off! The most adventurous endeavor is to look through all the leftover yarns from various projects, separate them into color families (reds, pinks, oranges, greens, blues, purples). Neutrals with colored undertone go in the group that best match the undertone. Subtle variegated with multiple hues are best as color fusion/transition. 3 | OD – Ovale Decke Shawl – a Hayley Tsang Sather rendition based on Herbert Niebling’s Ovale Decke All images, illustrations, and text ©enVision 2018 | envisionsf.com Anne – Regular Version in Four Colors Four Colors Actual usage, yours may differ depending on knitting tension Color A – 12g Color B – 25g US4 / 3.5mm needles Color C – 30g 18x40x42 in / 45x101x106 cm Color D – 85g 6/0 toho topaz inside lined gold ab Color B, Sage, was Halcyon Yarns JaggerSpun Heather 2/8 (490y/448m/100g) used as the pop A – Edelweiss/Daffodil mix - 12g / 59 yards color in Section H.
