Half Fade Hap
Introducing the Half Fade Hap, the delightful smaller and triangular sister of the much-anticipated Full Fade Hap, set to release this July! This beautifully designed shawl features a generous size, making it an ideal cozy accessory for any season. Drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of Shetland Isles shawls, the Half Fade Hap offers a unique and engaging knitting experience with intricate construction techniques.
To create this stunning shawl, you will start your journey at one corner of the center triangle, increasing the stitches until you reach the desired size. After crafting the main triangle, you'll confidently pick up stitches along the edges to work the striking border, showcasing various color bands, each adorned with its distinctive lace pattern. The shawl concludes with a gorgeous, knitted-on edging, which is skillfully attached to the live stitches of the border as you work, resulting in a seamless finish that elevates your handmade piece.
Your knitting adventure will be made easier with comprehensive instructions provided in both charted and written formats, ensuring clarity whether you're a visual learner or prefer detailed text.
