Shetlanders are famous for their beautiful “one piece” shawl construction. Learn a simple, modern method for knitting a traditional hap (everyday) shawl from the center out while keeping the details that make a Shetland shawl unique. We will knit a sample size in class using traditional yarns and pattern stitches and knit on a lace edging. Students will leave with instructions for a full size shawl.
The workshop includes history, construction techniques, chart reading, and blocking.
