Eloissa Ann is an asymmetrical shawl.

This knitting pattern is for the intermediate knitter.

The shawl is made up of repeating sections, covering a range of techniques from fair isle to lace. The various sections are interwoven with an all over eyelet pattern.

The shawl should be knitted with a loose tension on the bias edge.

This shawl is edged with an attached garter lace border.

A lace border does not have to be all one colour, i have knitted one with tangerine and stone.

The asymmetrical shape can be worn a multitude of ways.

Size
Length - 41” (104cm)
Lace edge across the top.. Width - 39” (99cm)
Wingspan - 66” (167cm)

The pattern is written for a 4ply/sport weight yarn, with a main colour and two contrast colours.
Rowan Pure Wool (brown) 2 skeins x 50 grm
Rowan Fine Tweed (beige) 4 skeins x 25 grm
Rowan Wool/Cotton (red) 1 skein x 50 grm

Needle size 3.75mm

Notes - If you are not knitting with a springy yarn for a looser edge, I would use a yarn over after the kfb on the wrong side row, and drop it on the return row, this gives a bit more stretch for blocking.

The 3rd picture from the bottom is knitted with Debbie Bliss Rialto 4ply, a very springy yarn, and the lace edge is knitted with Blacker Breed lace 2ply, mods information on my project page.
