Kurkuma

This exquisite shawlette showcases intricate lace patterning inspired by the rich traditions of the Shetland Isles, adding elegance and sophistication to any outfit. The unique triangle edging is skillfully worked simultaneously with the body of the shawl, creating a seamless and harmonious design.

This pattern provides comprehensive instructions, including both fully detailed written out instructions and clear charted diagrams for the lace sections, ensuring that knitters of varying skill levels can easily follow along. The lace in the border of the shawl exemplifies true lace knitting techniques, as it is worked on both right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) rows for a truly authentic finish.
