The Fairlight shawl is getting an update for its fifth anniversary!
The original is a generously sized right triangular shawl featuring soft Fern and cozy Gossamer yarns in a simple slipped stitch pattern that creates staggered window panes across the fabric.
Through the years many folks have asked for a smaller version of this classic shape, so I’m now including a second size for a slightly more streamlined, bias triangle shawl with an alternate border option.
Size 1 is the original, and size 2 is the new updated version.
Both sets of instructions and diagrams for each are included below.
