Vyshyvanka is inspired by a part of my
native Ukraine’s traditional national
costume: the hand-embroidered blouse.
Similarly to the cross stitch patterns
that pop against the fabric, the slip stitch
pattern on this shawl creates a textured
effect. Vyshyvanka is a relaxing, quick knit
that finishes as an accessory shawl—great
for summer nights.

Vyshyvanka is worked in stockinette, garter and slip
stitch patterns. Beginning at the center top of the
work with a garter-tab cast-on, stitches are increased
at the center and each edge every other row to create
a triangle shaped shawl.
