Wast Side Shawl

Discover the art of knitting with this exquisite shawl pattern, designed with a unique construction that starts with a beautifully detailed edging. The technique begins by creating yarn-over loops along the top edge, which are then skillfully picked up to form an elegant strip of edging. From there, the shawl is worked inward, cleverly reducing the number of stitches on the needles with each row. This captivating shawl features intricate lace patterns that are rooted in Shetland heritage. The Fern Lace pattern is particularly notable for its ease of memorization and distinctive beauty, making it a favorite among knitters. The name 'Wast Side' pays homage to the West Side of Shetland, where my beloved parents reside.

This pattern includes both charted and written instructions in a convenient 5-page PDF, ensuring you have everything you need at your fingertips. The larger size shawl is showcased in a stunning Purple hue, crafted from luxurious Malabrigo Lace yarn, while the smaller size is elegantly presented in a vibrant green, made from Cascade Heritage. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers the perfect opportunity to create a stunning piece that combines traditional techniques with contemporary flair. Embrace the joy of knitting and add this beautiful shawl to your collection today!
