LURGAN is the fifth shawl in the Petite Possibilities Collection. It is knit sideways, from tip-to-tip, in a simple 3-stitch cable and eyelet pattern. Built-in faux I-cord creates clean, polished edges.

LURGAN is easily customizable to your desired size, and the amount of yarn you have available. Make a single-skein shawl from the precious skein you have been saving, a small shawlette, or a narrow scarf.

Size options with detailed instructions and photos can be found in a separate PDF titled LURGAN POSSIBILITIES. Use the tables to design your own shawl, based on desired size or yarn available.

The pattern includes instructions and photos for 8 shawls, ranging from sizes XS to Large, in either a crescent or triangular shape.

LURGAN is designed for fingering weight yarn, but will look equally lovely in Sport or DK weight yarn. Several test knitters chose this option.

Step-by-step instructions are included for cabling without a cable needle. It’s easier than you think, made easier when cabling a slipped stitch. This is the perfect project to practice and master a new skill.

The pattern includes row-by-row instructions with stitch counts for every row, and handy tables to help you keep track of your progress. The pattern is not charted.

You will be receive two patterns.

Pattern No. 1 increases one stitch every six rows.
Select this pattern for a shawl with a longer wingspan and shallower center.

Pattern No. 2 increases one stitch every four rows.
Select this pattern for a shawl with a shorter wingspan, but more depth at the center.

Both patterns are adaptable to a crescent or triangular shape.

TIPS AND TRICKS is a separate 5-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl. As an experienced knitting instructor, I love to share helpful tips, and offer lots of advice!

SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.
