Ifigenia
Originally launched as a Limited Edition Posh Yarn Kit in July 2011, Ifigenia has captured the hearts of knitters with its delicate, lacy design and beautiful swirls. This stunning, semi-circular shawl is knitted sideways, allowing for a seamless construction that includes edging, borders, and all the lovely details in one continuous piece.
Note: This pattern is designed specifically for those who want to avoid the monotony of endless purling back rows! Enjoy the magic of Ifigenia as you create in 6 or 7 identical wedges. Each wedge decreases in length, resulting in shorter rows as you work your way around, culminating in a delightful return across short rows to start the next wedge. Say goodbye to boredom and hello to creativity!
Beading is optional but highly encouraged for those who want an extra sparkle in their project! For my design, I used stunning size 8 silverlined cobalt beads from Pärltorget. Their exceptional customer service was a wonderful bonus, making the beading experience almost effortless with the mini-mini crochet hook (US13/14 – 0.9 mm) she provided, even for someone like moi.
