• Product description

  A tribute to a beautiful woodland in the designer’s native Shetland, this shawl uses a traditional lace motif to depict a copse of trees. The triangular shape grows from a single stitch. The stitches are left live along the long edge while yarn-over loops are picked up along the other two edges to anchor the lace edging, which is worked sideways (perpendicular to the body of the shawl). Halligarth can be worked as a shawlette or as a more traditional large shawl.

  Designer: Gudrun Johnston

  Collection: Wool People, Volume 7

  CONSTRUCTION

  • This shawl is constructed by knitting the center triangle first. The center triangle starts with 1 stitch. Stitches are increased by working a yarn over (YO) at the beginning of every row. Stitches are then picked up from the yarnover loops on the edges of the Triangle, and a couple of rows are worked before proceeding to the edging, which is attached to the live stitches of the center triangle at the end of every other row.
