Shetlanders are famous for their beautiful “one piece” shawl construction. Learn a simple, modern method for knitting a shawl from the center out while keeping the details that make a Shetland shawl unique. We will be knitting a sample size in class using traditional yarns and pattern stitches, including lace edging. Chart reading, finishing and blocking will be covered in detail. Students will receive instructions for a full-size shawl.

  • Must be proficient at knitting and purling and have some lace knitting experience.

  • Please bring circular and a set of double point needles size US #7 (7 or 8 inches long), stitch markers, safety pin, tapestry needle and scissors. Yarn will be provided.

  • $175 which includes a folder, handouts, yarn for sampler and pattern for full size shawl.
