Öisin is a wide and shallow triangular shawl worked from the top down. This textured shawl features star- and diamond-shaped motifs worked in 1-over-1 stitch Honeycomb Cable pattern and chevron lines that are worked using twisted stitches technique. The shawl begins with a tab cast-on and the edge is finished with an i-cord bind-off.

The pattern includes written instructions and charts.
