Maggie

$11.00

Maggie is a treat to behold! It’s fairly easy and the perfect project for those wanting to jump into basic lace techniques. It’s also a joy for more advanced knitters to play around with some various colour styles and stay relatively engaged.

This top-down triangular-shaped shawl works up beautifully with self-striping shawl yarn or mini-skeins. My sample uses a self-striping shawl yarn. This yarn can be yard to get, so I’ve listed the stripes as colour A and the grey portion as colour B to break up for easy substitutions.

Worked flat, Maggie contains written directions and charts. A handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your rows and stitch counts. Yardage for each section is given should you wish to turn this into a scrappy project!

If you desire a striping effect, you could use scrap yarn joined together with a Russian join to make up the colour A yardage or alternate scraps every 10 rows.

Gauge
