Pikorua Shawl

The Pikorua Shawl is a top-down asymmetrical triangular shawl, worked in alternating sections of garter stitch and simple lace, finished off with a braided lace stitch pattern.

“Pikorua” is Maori for “twist”, based on the pounamu twist design often found in Maori pendants. It symbolizes the bond between two people, whether founded in friendship, love, or blood (or knitting, for a less extreme version).

This pattern has been both tech edited, and test knit to ensure a more enjoyable knitting experience. As part of pattern support, you get special access to HD images, video, and written tutorials on advanced techniques featured in the pattern.
