Armagh is the second shawl in the Petite Possibilities Shawl Collection. It is a shallow, crescent-shaped shawl, knit sideways from tip-to-tip. It starts at one tip, and is worked with increases on one edge until the desired width is achieved. The short middle section continues in this width, and then the second side is worked with decreases to the opposite tip.

The all-over textured lace pattern creates a lovely three-dimensional effect. Simple to execute, with stunning results, the shorter rows make this the perfect project for a novice lace knitter.

Armagh is easy to customize to your desired size, and the amount of yarn you have available. You can make a one-skein shawl, a small shawlette, a narrow scarf, or a headwrap. Size options and detailed instructions can be found in a separate PDF titled Armagh Possibilities.

Designed for fingering weight yarn, Armagh will be equally pretty in a Sport or DK yarn. Several test knitters chose this option.

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

A lacework chart is included. For side shaping, please refer to written pattern.

As a fun bonus you will also receive the Armagh Cuff pattern. The cuff is an attractive, finishing touch to your Armagh Shawl.

The shawl uses a combination of 24-row and 48-row shaping sections. The scarf uses 48-row shaping sections.

ARMAGH SHAWL - use this pattern for Shawls 1 - 6.
ARMAGH SCARF - use this pattern for a headwrap, neckerchief or narrow scarf.

TIPS AND TRICKS is a separate 7-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl. 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.
