Meryl Shawl
Knitting for me has always been a process of exploration. When I was first introduced to Estonian lace, I was smitten. A love affair with Estonian stitches began, and through the years I have continued to improve my understanding of Estonian stitches while adapting them to more modern knitting techniques.
This shawl was a long time in the making. The pattern was written and re-written several times and my tentative rows ripped and reknit until finally, Meryl was ready for its debut.
This pattern is meant for an adventurous novice knitter or a more experienced mid-level knitter as the chart can be difficult to follow.
Both written and charted directions are included in this pattern. Please read the entire pattern before beginning.

Needle: US 3 (3.25 mm) circular needles or needles to obtain gauge
