Minnamurra
Minnamurra is a crescent-shape lace shawl - created from one skein (100 grams) of sock/fingering/4 ply yarn.
The lace pattern is both fully written out and in chart form.
Shawl Construction
The shawl is knitted from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast on. Rapid increases at the edges create a wide, shallow, curved shawl shape. A pretty picot edging completes the shawl.
Finished Measurements
78 inches/198 cm wingspan; 17 inches/43 cm depth.
Yarn
400 yards (100 grams) of 4 ply / fingering / sock yarn. Pattern sample was knitted in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (Well Water colourway).
Needles & Notions
4.5mm (US 7) circular needles, from 30 to 48 inches (75cm to 120cm) long.
Stitch markers
Gauge
14 stitches x 24 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) on 4mm needles in Section B lace pattern after a very heavy blocking. Gauge is not crucial but a different gauge will alter the finished size, drape and amount of yarn required.
Note: Many knitters (myself included) tend to knit the top edge of shawls too tightly. To keep the top edge loose, add a yarn over between the first and second stitch of every row and drop it on the following row.
Errata
Please ensure that you are working from the current version of the pattern: Minnamurra V2
