Sionann Shawl

The River Shannon was named after Sionann who was the granddaughter of Lir, the Celtic god of the sea.

Triangular shape. The shawl is knit sideways on a background of reverse stocking stitch. A beaded lace edge is worked simultaneously as the shawl is shaped by increases to a centre point before decreasing. On the opposite (top edge) a cable is worked as the shawl grows. Beads are added as you work with wire or a tiny crochet hook. One skein (400 metres) of yarn is enough to complete this shawl.

One size, but easily adaptable to larger sizes by changing the number of repeats of chart 3 increases and mirroring decreases. Remember that you will need extra yarn if you wish to increase the size!
