Róisín, meaning little rose, is a common girl’s name here in Ireland and perfectly suited to this ice-cream coloured shawl with a seemingly intricate rose patterned lace-edging. In fact, this shawl is very simple to knit. The lace repeats are easy to construct and a doddle to commit to memory. The Yarn is from The Mottled Sheep and suitably named Burnished Rose. Burnished Rose, a sock/fingering weight, 75/25 super-wash merino and nylon mix of hand-dyed yarn from Siobhan Power’s etsy shop The Mottled Sheep. The shawl has a top down, double triangular construction with a garter stitch edge and a simple spine. The body is begun with a garter tab and the main body is knit in stocking stitch before running into the lace edge.
