Wast Side Shawl

This shawls construction begins with the edging. Yarn over loops are created along the top edge and then picked up along the entire strip of edging. The shawl is then worked inwards, thus reducing the number of the stitches on the needles every row! The lace patterns featured in the edging and border are both of Shetland origin. Fern Lace is an easy to memorize and distinctive pattern. Wast Side refers to the West Side of Shetland, where my parents live.

Charted and written instructions are included in the 5 page PDF.
