Hermaness Shawl

Introducing the Hermaness Shawl, an exquisite knitting pattern that features the traditional Shetland lace stitch known as Old Shale. This beautiful shawl showcases a simple asymmetric construction, beginning from a single point and knitted sideways. The design gracefully increases along one side, resulting in a striking large triangle that drapes elegantly over the shoulders.

One of the standout features of the Hermaness Shawl is its versatility in size. You can easily customize the dimensions by casting off after two repeats of the intricate pattern rows or by adjusting the length of the cozy garter stitch section. This adaptability allows you to create a shawl that perfectly suits your style and preference.

The sample shawl is crafted using Malabrigo Lace yarn in the stunning shade of Water Green. This project utilizes just under two 50g (1.76 oz) skeins, making it a fantastic option for both novice and experienced knitters. With its lightweight and airy feel, this shawl is perfect for layering in cooler weather or adding a touch of elegance to any outfit.

While the Hermaness Shawl is knitted flat, we highly recommend using circular needles. This choice accommodates the increasing number of stitches, providing a comfortable and efficient knitting experience. Whether you're looking to expand your knitting skills or create a heartfelt gift for a loved one, the Hermaness Shawl pattern is an ideal choice for your next project.
