Bila-shawl is first knitted sideways to form a long shallow triangle. The border features modified traditional Crown of Glory pattern after picking up stitches from the lower edge of the triangle. The traditional Hap-shawl yarn overs form a smooth upper edge. There’s two options for the very edge, less holes, beige shawl or more holes, red shawl.

The pattern has both written and charted instructions.

Yarn:

150 g of heavy fingering weight yarn, 175 m/ 191 yds per 50 g in 2 colours: 100 g of main colour and 50 g of contrast colour.

The samples was knitted with Rowan Felted Tweed in colourways Rage (MC) and Clay (CC) (more holes version) and Camel (MC) and Tawny (CC)(less holes version) and used all of the 2 skeins of MC and 40 g of CC.
