Ingiridh
Ingiridh is a semi-circular shawl with Shetland lace motifs. The shawl is worked in stockinette stitch with patterning on every row (i.e. there are no rest rows).
The shawl’s size can be adjusted by working more or fewer repeats of the final diamond chart. Instructions to do so are given in the pattern.
This pattern has been testknitted. The lace motifs are charted only.
This shawl is part of my series Along the Whale Road, which highlights yarns from places visited & settled by the Vikings. The brown sample shawl was knitted in Manx Loaghtan singles from the Ballacosnahan Flock on the Isle of Man.
According to Orkneyingasaga, Ingiridh Thórkellsdóttir was a rich widow with large estates on the Isle of Man. When Sveinn Ásleifarson proposed marriage, she made it a condition of her acceptance that he avenge her late husband, who had been killed by a British man called Hold.
