Kastellet is the Danish word for “the castle”. This hap shawl / blanket matches my design “Luftkastel”. Kastellet is a square hap shawl / blanket with a wide lace edge.

The pattern includes directions for three sizes 124x124 (142x142; 160x160) centimeters after blocking.

The middle of the blanket is worked back and forth while the lace edge is worked in the round. The pattern is written for a knitter who is able to follow written instructions as well as follow a lace chart and work increase and decrease. (Direction is a combination of chart and written text).

This pattern calls for a yarn with a gauge of 25 stitches per 10 centimeters, i.e. a yardage of approximately 300 meters per 100 grams. Largest size pictured in hand dyed (leaves from Acer Palmatum) Merino 300 from Chester Wool Company.

Materials: yarn, circular knitting needle and yarn needle for weaving in ends.

The pattern does not include directions for the matching cresent shaped shawl, finished items yarn etc. The pattern only includes instruction for knitting the square hap shawl / blanket.
