I started to knit this shawl the same day I found out about my skin cancer. My working name was “I need a hug” and that is what this shawl gives you. I changed the name to Sporrakulla because that is a place, just a couple of kilometers from where I live, that is close to my heart.

~ This is a triangle shawl that starts at the middle of the upper edge.

~ You will have to adjust the pattern (ribbing and cables) due to increases.

~ In this pattern I have written the length and the amount of rows in every section, but if you don´t get row gauge, don´t worry. Go by length.

~ Don´t forget that you always have the freedom to change the length in every section to get the size of the shawl you want.
