Kerria Shawl

Kerria Shawl is a slightly asymmetric triangular shawl in three colors. It starts from one point and grows by increasing on both edges. Alternating the three colours, as well as switching from stockinette stitch to the lace pattern, gives the shawl an interesting texture and promises easy yet engaging knitting. To finish off, an I-cord border is worked and tassels can be attached if wanted.

The sample is shown in colours ”Dark Khaki” (C1), ”Dark Gold” (C2) and ”Dark Beige” (C3). Or other DK weight yarn with similar fibre content in three contrasting colours. Total yardage: C1 146yds {133m}; C2 120yds {110m}; C3 91yds {83m} including tassels.
