Product Details

Flint structures: walls, cottages, houses and churches, are one of Norfolk’s most distinctive architectural features (Norfolk in the UK).

Field flint refers to often unworked flint pieces, or cobbles that can be collected from fields and beaches and used to build with. In building, the flints are often laid in patterns, intersected with brick courses, to form Norfolk’s iconic flint building style.

There are three main construction elements to this shawl:

Asymmetric triangle Shape – this is achieved by a two-row pattern of increasing/decreasing stitches at the beginning and end of the rows, kept going throughout,

Brick courses – made up of garter stitch and yoyok2tog rows

Flint courses – made up of w&t/short row shaping around alternating markers, placed along the row.

The first few sections of the pattern will explain these elements in detail, and the pattern will take you through how to complete a shawl using 200g of 4-ply yarn, while also providing space to experiment.

Notes
The pattern is written for 800m/4-ply. There is plenty of flexibility in the construction, so you can use from 760m and make necessary adjustments.
