FINISHING

Weave in ends and soak shawl in lukewarm

water. Gently squeeze out the excess water

in a towel. Stretch to shape and size and

pin in place. Leave to dry thoroughly

before unpinning.

A BEAUTIFUL lace pattern resembling the

delicate shapes of jellyfish adorns the wide

border of this shawl. The crescent shape is

achieved by working a combination of

short rows and decreases. “For a deeper

shawl, work more repeats of the lace

pattern, bearing in mind that more yarn

will be needed,” says the shawl’s designer,

Anniken Allis.

Just one skein of laceweight

yarn is needed
