Northern Flurries Shawl
|
Northern Flurries includes sections of lace alternating with double short rows. I started playing with double short rows at about the same time that I discovered the Snow Flurries lace pattern in a Vogue Knitting stitch dictionary.
Northern Yarn 4-ply, made from a single flock of Poll Dorset sheep in the north of England, provided the inspiration to combine the two in what turned into the Northern Flurries shawl. Northern Yarn is woollen- spun and very “sheepy”, bringing cosy warmth and structure to the design. Alternative yarns can be found on YarnSub. |

Knit It Twice (KIT)
The KIT stitch is used as the first stitch of most rows. It allows the side edge to stretch further and gives a decorative bobble. |
K2Tog-L - a left-leaning decrease
A neater alternative to an SSK. The yarn is removed from the front stitch of the decrease, just as it would be if the back stitch didn't get in the way! |
