Interisland Shawl

This enchanting knitting pattern unites the beauty of two remarkable islands: the yarn is naturally dyed by Shilasdair on the picturesque island of Skye, located on the west coast of Scotland. It then travels to the serene island of Burra in the Shetland Isles, where I intricately designed and crafted this stunning shawl.

The pattern begins with a delicate lace edging featuring a wave-inspired motif that beautifully represents the sea, the vital link that connects our beloved islands. Once you finish the intricate edging, you'll pick up the stitches along the straight edge, transitioning into a series of comforting short rows crafted in soft garter stitch. This method creates a gentle curve that enhances the shawl's body, adding a touch of elegance and comfort to your knitting project.

Ideal for knitters of various skill levels, this pattern not only allows you to hone your skills but also to create a unique piece that reflects the natural beauty of the Scottish landscape. Embrace the artistry of traditional knitting techniques while celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Scotland with this lovely shawl pattern. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, you will find joy in every stitch of this beautiful garment.
