Plectrude is a gartered stitch shawl with a central fireworks panel and a three-colored end. You can make this little shawl in all kind of yarn and, obviously, any kind of needle.
Plectrude was born in my mind while I was reading for the second time the Amelie Nothomb’s book “Robert des noms propres” and so the shawl took the name of the fabulous character.
