About this pattern
This light and airy shawl is named after Orange Flower Yarn’s beautiful “Equilibrium” colourway. Drawing loosely from Faroese construction, the shawl begins at the top with an I-Cord tab cast-on, and ends with a picot bind-off. In between you will work an airy “Zigzag Lace” pattern, a chunky cable braid, and a section of two-colour brioche ribbing. Adding beads to the picots is optional, but who doesn’t love a bit of bling?
