A long fringe in six colours hangs from the two sloping edges. One size — 154 cm across the top and 73 cm deep at the middle, without the fringe.

You cast on 345 stitches in ash heather, mark the middle stitch and knit one row; by our reading of the chart and the photos, the cast-on edge becomes the two fringed sloping sides, with the middle stitch at the point, and you knit from there towards the straight top edge. The chart shows the right half of the shawl and only the right-side rows; the left half is worked as its mirror image, and the wrong-side rows are purled, except 3 garter stitches at each end. On every right-side row the middle stitch is decreased with a double decrease (the centre stitch on top), and near each end a double decrease and a yarn over take away one stitch, so the stripes run parallel to the fringed edges and meet in a V at the centre. Seven bands of ash-heather lace — yarn overs with k2tog, ssk and the double decrease — alternate with seven bands of plain sky blue stocking stitch. The last 7 stitches are divided on two needles and joined with a three-needle bind-off. The shawl is rinsed in lukewarm water, laid flat, and stretched a little and pinned to shape. Last, a fringe of three 36 cm strands, folded in half, is knotted through every cast-on stitch with the crochet hook, starting with yellow at the middle stitch and working out to the ends of both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 32 (no. 23), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67602039308341,"sku":"PAT-EN-VAENGUR","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/L32_23_Vaengur_Wing_Shawl_with_fringes_einband_knitting_kit_c6ed4264-f719-48ee-9fea-cd7edc6a11e9.jpg?v=1791020981","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/vaengur-striped-lace-shawl-with-fringe-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
