Portia’s Sail

This is a single 4ply skein pattern that I have had great fun in creating as part of the Outlander inspired knit along in conjunction with Honey Girl Farms Yarns.

I wanted to represent a sail from one of the ships that the characters journey on, and chose The Portia, which in the books is the ship that carries Jamie and Claire from Paris back to Scotland.

It’s a piece with dropped stitches and eyelets and with the shaping I have used brings one skein of 400m to a shawl with dimensions of approx. 179cm wingspan by 47cm deep.

I hope you have fun creating your sail and look forward to seeing the colours it appears in.
