Moor Shawl
Moor Shawl is a lovely triangle-shaped shawl, worked in two phases. The second half is joined to the first as you go. You need 4 skeins of fingering weight yarn for this shawl.
Another adventure awaits! I’m following your footsteps, going up and up, climbing higher and higher. The path is steep and I can feel my breathing. Suddenly I glimpse through the trees and see: Look at that mountain! It is magnificent!
Moor shawl is worked in easy sequence of colors and garter stitch. You will repeat the same rows, one color after the other and then mirror it all for the right wing! Everything is brought together with beautiful i-cord edging around it all.
This shawl is a wonderful design for using up all those single fingering weight skeins you most likely already have in your stash. They can be varied in bases and in colors. I can picture my next Moor being very summery with bright colors and happy beach memories.
