Saighead-Shìth
£5.50
Meaning fairy arrows in Scottish Gaelic, Saighead-Shìth is named for the arrow shapes created by the stunning lace pattern. Saighead-Shìth is an asymmetrical shawl knit from side to side. With masses of relaxing garter stitch and an engaging but easy to learn lace edge, this shawl is a joy to knit! Knit it with 100g of 4 ply weight yarn for a neat shawlette, 200g for a wrap or with 300g for a shawl that almost doubles as a blanket.
The sample is knit with 200g of Fruitful Fusion Merino Singles, for the perfect easy to wear shawl!
The pattern is fully written and charted so whichever way you like to read your patterns, you’re covered! The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. I forgot to take a spread out photo of Saighead-Sgìth (sorry) but the shape is very similar to Driùchdan!
