This shawl does not have the traditional Estonian shape of a rectangle with a separately sewn-on lace edging but is in the more modern top-down triangle style, with a lace edging knitted as part of the shawl. Nupps and star stitches are used in abundance, giving the knitter lots of opportunities to practice these techniques! Knitting with fine-gauge yarn on larger-than-typical needles allows the finished lace to be airy and show the nupps to good advantage.

This pattern is part of the Stitch Anatomy Lesson in the Summer 2017 issue of Cast On
