The first section of the shawl is crafted using a traditional Shetland style center triangle. You will have the flexibility to choose between two options for constructing this central design. The first option, known as Center A, utilizes yarn overs at the start of each row. This method requires you to spit splice in new colors as needed, which adds an engaging technique to your knitting. Alternatively, if you prefer not to spit splice or are using yarn that doesn’t handle well for this method, the second option, Center B, is available for a more straightforward approach.
After finishing the center triangle, a beautiful border is worked up by picking up stitches along two sides of the triangle. The shawl is then completed with a simple yet elegant knitted on edging, giving it a polished and sophisticated finish.
