Morwenna

THIS TRIANGULAR shawl has a pattern of grey stripes worked on a purple garter stitch background. The stripes are knitted using German short rows, and the shawl is finished with a border of garter lace. Anniken’s sample was knitted in Lana Grossa’s Lace Seta yarn, which has since been discontinued, so we have recommended two alternatives.
