Product Details
Magrathea is a long & narrow, slightly asymmetrical triangular shawlette featuring a squishy garter stitch body & a geometrical lace motif at the edges - just right for spring & early summer!
In Douglas Adam‘s "The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy", Magrathea is the planet where luxury planets are built to order. Its planet-building experts are especially famous for pretty coastlines – as the lace edging of this shawlette.
Starting at one corner of the triangle, add wider and wider rows and cast off at one of the short sides. The lace edging on one side is worked as you go, the other is formed by the last 30 rows before bind off. 100 g of fingering weight yarn is plenty to make a useful shawlette. Instructions are provided on how to make it larger.
Charts only, lace parts are not given as written instructions.
