“The traditional Shetland Hap shawl is a genre that I gravitate to time and again in my design work. I find it to be such a great combination of beauty & utility, while providing a comforting and interesting knitting experience. For this variation I wanted to modernize the look by creating an interesting, non-traditional construction, playing with tonal color variations, and adding bands of elongated stitches into the traditional shale border motif. While traditional haps are square in format, this version is triangular to match the more commonly-created style of our present day knitting culture.” – Jared Flood

CONSTRUCTION

• Shawl begins with a central garter stitch triangle, which begins at the lower point with a single stitch. When working triangle, yarn overs are worked at the beginning of every row to shape it towards the wider upper edge of shawl.
• After center triangle is complete, stitches are left live at the upper edge and held as Striped Shale Border is worked.
• Striped Shale Border is picked up from diagonal sides of center triangle (from the yarn overs worked during construction of the center triangle). One stitch is picked up in every selvedge yarn over from side edges. The border is worked from these picked- up stitches. After completion, the border is bound off very loosely to maintain elasticity.
• The top edging is worked from stitches picked up along the sides of the Striped Shale Border, and held live stitches from the center triangle. The top edging is worked with a band of eyelets and a few ridges of garter stitch before being bound off.
