Zomerzon is a semi-circle Pi shawl, worked in a luxury merino lace weight singles yarn. Truly a ray of sunshine when it’s rainy and gray outside! This design can, of course, also be made in a (light) fingering weight yarn.
Zomerzon is worked from the top-down and is started with a garter stitch tab. The lace is patterned on both right and wrong side rows. The instructions for all patterning are, of course, both charted and fully written out.
Sizes and finished measurements: Finished dimensions of the sample shawl: Span width of 186 cm (73 ¼ inches) and a depth of 67 cm (26 ½ inches), measured after blocking.
Change the size of this shawl by using lighter or heavier yarn and/or working fewer (or more) repeats of the lace border. This will of course change the amount of yarn needed.
Difficulty level: Knit this half-circle shawl from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast-on. Lace patterning is worked on both RS and WS rows. Stitches used include knit, purl, yo, m1, skp, p2tog, k2tog, k3tog, and the 3-into-3 Estonian star stitch.
This pattern is suitable for the intermediate to advanced knitter.
