Sale price$6.00

The first section of the shawl is knit using a traditional Shetland style center triangle. There are two options offered for how to work this section. One uses yarn overs at the beginning of each row (Center A) and requires that you spit splice in new colors as they are needed. If you prefer not to spit splice, or are using yarn that doesn’t work well for splicing, then you can use the second option (Center B).
A border is then worked up after picking up two sides of the center triangle and the shawl is finished off with a simple knitted on edging

Sizing

52.5 inches wide and 21.4 inches deep.
There is a fair amount of give when it comes to blocking the shawl.
