The Antrim Shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit sideways from one tip to the opposite edge. The textured body starts with relaxing garter stitch, enhanced with slip stitch stripes. It features an eye-catching combination of two-colour slip stitch and delicate lace, and is finished with an I-cord bind off.

Antrim comes in two sizes.
The larger shawl measures 68”/172 cm wide x 20”/51 cm deep.
The shawlette measures 55”/140 cm wide and 16”/41 cm deep.

For the shawlette, by reversing the colours, you can make two shawls from two contrasting skeins. Perfect for twinning with your bestie! This is an ideal “small” project to try your hand at mosaic and lace knitting.

The pattern includes row-by-row instructions with stitch counts for every row, and handy tables to help you keep track of your progress.

Charts for slip stitch and lace patterns are included. For side shaping, please refer to written pattern.

As a fun bonus - you will also receive the Antrim Cuff pattern. The cuff is knit in the round and starts with your favourite cast-on for toe-up socks. Two buttonholes, with identical placement, are made on the front and back sides. After the cuff is knit to length, the live stitches are grafted. The cuff is an attractive, finishing touch to your lovely Antrim shawl.

TIPS AND TRICKS is a separate 13-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl, plus tips on yarn selection, gauge, correcting errors, blocking, and much more! Learn about Visual Row Tracking – my favourite way to count rows. As an experienced knitting instructor, I love to share helpful tips, and offer lots of advice!

SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.
