Product Details
The Irish Ale Shawlette is a companion piece (as they say in the art world) to my Irish Ale Socks. I love those socks so much that I've been thinking about making something with a similar pattern for yonks. The stitch pattern always makes me think of settling ale, swirling, newly poured, in a pint glass, and the bubbly head at the top (or in this case, the bottom) just cries out to be made out of such a pretty ruffled edging – a stylised form of the main stitch pattern. And so this little shawl was born. Or perhaps poured...
The shawlette is worked from the top downwards and works well in most lighter-weight yarns, as long as you finish after one full repeat. The yardages quoted here are for fingering and lace-weight yarn, but are only guidelines.
