This shawl was inspired by Celtic interlocking knots, so the name is the Gaelic word for diamonds. (Also, my stepdaughter recommended “Diamonds in the Rough”, which was not exactly original so I branched out.)

The shawl is constructed with three lace diamond panels separated by garter rib panel. The edging extends the interlocking diamonds across the whole shawl.
