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 edging, stitches are then picked up from the yarn over loops on the edges of the center triangle, and the edging section is worked outwards from these stitches.

GAUGE

• 21 stitches & 35 rows = 4” in lace pattern, after blocking
