Driùchdan (dewdrop in Scottish Gaelic) is named for the delicate lace pattern that falls from the top like little beads of dew. With masses of cosy and luxurious garter stitch for easy knitting, surrounded by a simple and easy to learn lace pattern, this asymmetrical shawl is a fun and engaging knit! Designed with three sizes in mind, you can pick the one that works best for you! Knit it with 100g of 4 ply weight yarn for a neat shawlette or with 300g for a shawl that almost doubles as a blanket.

The sample is knit with 200g of Eden Cottage Yarns Titus Fingering, for a shawl that’s easy to wear, cosy and elegant!

The pattern is fully written and charted so whichever way you like to read your patterns, you’re covered! The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos.
