Brora

Triangular Lace Shawl
Skill Level: 3 of 5
Regular price $11.00

This distinctive shawl, printed all over with triangles of garter stitch, can be worked in two weights. Knit a breezy complement to summer dresses in Vale or a slightly larger triangle with comforting weight and warmth in Arbor. The arrowhead lace edging combines garter stitch and eyelets to achieve a flintknapped texture. The pattern teaches the Icelandic Bind Off technique to yield an elastic edge that partners effectively with garter stitch.

Pattern Specs

CONSTRUCTION

  • This shawl is constructed using a traditional Shetland method. The center triangle is worked from the bottom up first, beginning with 1 stitch. Stitches are increased by working a yarn over (YO) at the beginning of every row. For the border, stitches are then picked up from the yarn over loops on the edges of the center triangle, and the border section is worked outwards from these stitches.
