Fairy Arrows

A close up on a the lace border of a shawl with garter stitch knit in pale yellow speckled yarnIt has been so long since my last shawl pattern! The last was Breigichean on  17th August 2023 so just a few days short of a year. I hope you’re looking forward to this as much as I have!

I fell in love with this gorgeous little arrow lace a long time ago but I’ve never found a way to use it until now. The gorgeous lace pattern surrounds a cosy, squishy garter stitch body giving warmth and comfort. I knit mine with 800 yds of Fruitful Fusion Merino Singles, but the pattern comes with a 400yd and 1200yd version!

A shawl with an arrow shaped lace border and garter stitch body of a shawl knit in pale yellow speckled yarn and draped around a mannequinI have always loved traditional folk and fairy tales so I named the pattern
Saighead-Shìth (sigh-ad-hee – listen to the pronounciation) which is a Scottish Gaelic word meaning fairy arrows. Fairy arrows (or elf shot) was the name given to prehistoric flint arrowheads found across the UK.

You can get 25% off Saighead-Shìth with the code ArrowSale until 11.59 pm (BST) on the 20th of August 2024. The pattern is also on LoveCrafts and Etsy!
