Federa
FEDERA is a crescent shaped shawl that can be wrapped around the neck several times. The ends are long enough to tie it with a knot. One of the sides of the triangle features a botanically-inspired border that evolves naturally during the knitting and gives the shawl its unusual shape.
What do I really love about this shawl? It´s perfect size and shape - it is made of two skeins of fingering weight yarn only (and at the end I had to weave in 4 ends!). Due to its asymmetrical shape, I didn´t have to handle hundreds of brioche stitches on my needles and above all pattern allows some mindless knitting to travel with … and I love to wear it!
Repetitive increases and decreases are only worked every 4 rows, giving the shawl its unusual shape. Using the light color applied I-cord is then worked across for a clean finish and if you are brave, make a double or even triple I-cord! You end up with a large, gentle curved feminine shawl. You will love it!
