Irene is a crochet shawl which forms an elongated, winged triangle shape, with a central spine which runs most of the way down the back, and is worked from the top down.
It features a variety of lace patterns, with a combination of solid areas and other more openwork sections, finishing with a decorative hem edging.
Designed to be quite challenging and interesting to work, the pattern changes throughout the shawl. This design is therefore recommended for experienced crocheters.
The finished measurements after blocking are 150cm (59 inches) wide by 75cm (29.5 inches) deep, and the original was worked on a 3.0mm crochet hook.
The kit includes the printed pattern and a 100g (1,200m) skein of our hand-painted 50% Baby Suri Alpaca, 30% Extrafine Merino Wool, 20% Silk Fine Lace yarn, sufficient to make the shawl as written.
The pattern is presented as fully written instructions with no charts, and also includes instructions for a fine lace version of the shawl.
