Elinor is a small triangular shawl. Its traditional geometric lace boarder is elegantly framing the soft stockinette stitch center. This shawlette is knit sideways in one piece and shaped using short rows.

It uses just under one skein of fingering yarn and is still big enough to wrap around your neck generously. Perfect for showing off special skeins.

Suitable for intermediate to advanced knitters - you should be comfortable in knitting lace and using short rows.

A chart and written instructions are included for the lace border.

Now also available in German.

You can find a photo-tutorial on the short rows used on my blog here.
