Product details

A simple design to show off a magic yarn (it seems to beckon John Bauer's fairies and princesses).

The shape and construction imitate my Ifigenia, but unlike the more intricate Ifigenia, this is truly straightforward and simple.

simple pattern (written and with illustrative charts)
knit in 6 wedges + 1/2 another wedge
picot cast-on & bind-off (optional)
short rows - each wedge gets smaller for each two rows, which means the knitting speeds up as you go
the lace mesh is a 4-stitch repeat over 8 rows - but really only 2 rows because it’s the same 2 rows staggered
the simple edging is knit along with the shawl as you go
Faery Wings, is listed as a 4ply, but is more of a sport weight yarn - I have not yet tried the pattern with a lighter yarn nor experimented with casting on
