Sonas, meaning “Happiness” in Gaelic Irish, is an assymmetric triangle shaped shawl. The knitting starts from the upper corner, and with increases at the beginning of every RS row, the shawl gets wider and wider towards the bottom edge.
Sonas features a wide lace panel and a slipped stitch and bobble panel where the bobbles are knit with contrast colour.
