Fortingall Yew

A triangular shawl with wide center back lace panel and knit-on lace border, worked from the top/center back edge down. It is worked using fingering-weight yarn and you will need approximately 775 yards to knit the pattern as written.

If choosing to substitute yarns, be sure to choose one with a good drape and little to no halo to best show off the twisted stitch pattern at the center back.

Please note the lace and twisted-stitch patterning is presented in chart form ONLY.

Inspiration Notes: The Fortingall Yew is an ancient European Yew tree found in the churchyard in the village of Fortingall in Perthshire, Scotland. It is believed to be one of the oldest trees in Britain, with an estimated age between 2000 and 3000 years.
