Ballyclare is an asymmetric triangular shawl, knit sideways from one tip to the opposite edge, finished with a delicate picot bind off.

Knit in sections of single and two-colour patterns, it features an eye-catching interplay of simple eyelet rows and garter stitch stripes. This is a project that will keep you engaged from start to finish!

The pattern includes row-by-row instructions with stitch counts for every row, and handy tables to help you keep track of your progress.

As a fun bonus - you will also receive the Ballyclare Cuff pattern, an attractive finishing touch to the Ballyclare shawl.

Brenda’s Tips and Tricks is a separate 8-page PDF and contains information on gauge, correcting errors, blocking, and much more! Learn about Visual Row Tracking – my favourite way to count rows. As an experienced knitting instructor, I share helpful tips, and lots of advice! I hope the tips will pave the way for a pleasurable and “tink-free” knitting experience.

SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.

Heartfelt thanks to my enthusiastic, dedicated team of test knitters. Your commitment of time, your expertise, and valuable feedback are greatly appreciated. Please go to Projects to admire their beautiful shawls.
