Hiraeth
SEE HIRAETH ON RAVELRY
Hiraeth was originally published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing. It's a triangular shawl knit prominently in garter stitch which is broken up by three panels of lace. You cast on all the stitches at the widest edge and decrease along the left side to give the shawl its shape. So after the initial set-up, you're always decreasing and your progress gets faster and faster as you go!
I wanted to design a shawl that was pure comfort to knit and wear. It is an extremely intuitive knit that you can get lost in. The name Hiraeth is Welsh for homesickness or nostalgia, and I first started thinking of this pattern after I had moved from the UK to Canada. If you choose to knit Hiraeth, I hope it’s as comforting to you as mine is to me!
When you purchase Hiraeth, you get access to both the English and Finnish versions.
