Vatna

Sale price$6.00

Vatna 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 shaped by decreases that are evenly distributed across the main fabric until only a few stitches remain.
