Eira
This exquisite pattern is included in [My Basic Collection - Book 1][2], an Eco-friendly e-book that features five delightful knitting patterns: Mimo, Poveira, Afago, Equinócio, and the standout Eira. If you’re looking for a sustainable knitting project that combines elegance and simplicity, this collection is designed just for you.
Eira is a stunning seamless shawl that is knitted from the bottom up, showcasing a beautifully intricate lace stitch that is easy to memorize, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The shawl's crescent shape is achieved through a clever stockinette section worked with short rows. To add a decorative touch and prevent the edges from curling, eyelets have been strategically incorporated into both the cast-on and bind-off edges. This design ensures that your finished piece will be just as lovely as it is functional.
This charming shawl is a one-skein project, and you’ll be pleased to know that I completed it using less than one skein of the luxurious Malabrigo sock yarn. It’s not only a beautiful piece to wear but also a quick and satisfying knit that you will love creating.
