Iraira is Maori for variegated, reflecting the usage of variegated yarn in this design. Two skeins of yarn are used: one in a solid color and one in a variegated color. This shawl is worked with increases and decreases to shape it into the asymmetrical triangular shape. Lots of garter stitch, but the pattern is kept interesting with the usage of stripes and slip stitches at different pointsof the pattern. The shawl is bound-off using the picot bind off for a nice, subtle touch.

Iraira est un mot qui vient du maori et qui veut dire vari , tel la construction de ce chle. Il est ncessaire davoir 2 cheveaux de laine pour pouvoir le tricoter. Un cheveau dans une couleur solide et un autre dans une couleur varie Ce chle est travaill avec des augmentations et des diminutions et ainsi on va former une forme triangulaire asymtrique. Le chle est tricot essentiellement en point mousse, qui peut tre fastidieux mais la combinaison de points fantaisie fait varier les couleurs. Le chle est fini par un point Picot, qui donne au chle 1 forme fminine et douce au tact.
