Eithne

Eithne is an Irish name meaning fire, and the lace pattern in this shawl is reminiscent of flames. This design uses a garter stitch tab to create a seamless edge along the crescent shape of the shawl. Worked flat from the top edge out, this shawl knits up quickly with fun increases along the sides.
