Tarra was originally published as part of a knitwear collection published by PomPom Press. This collection was based on knitwear my mum designed in the 70s in Shetland.

The shawl is worked from the outside in, starting with the widest edge. The body of the shawl is worked with a combination of short rows and some decreasing, creating a shallow shape and resulting in a long cast-off section at the end. The new shell lace pattern is easy to work and a fun pattern for striping colors.
