The shawl is triangular and is knit from the top down with increases on every right-side row, worked at the edges and on each side of the center stitch. The design combines a variation on the Shetland twins pattern and the basic Shetland tree pattern. The depth of the edging can be changed by repeating rows 253 – 266 of Chart 5. The only difference between the rows is the ends to deal with the shaping increases, so you can stop whenever you want or when you run out of yarn. I would have made mine deeper, but I ran out of yarn.

I used a hand spun yarn spun from a blend of merino (75%) and Bombyx silk (25%).

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Thanks.

09-19-2024 Version 2: Fixed problem in Chart 4 at the end of rows 191, 193, and 195. I am not sure how I managed to mangle that section up so badly but I did.
