Pulse is a shawl in an unusual shape, but it is very wearable. A shawl for every day! Using real Shetland Wool it is light and warm. Perfect.
You start knitting in a triangular shape, increasing and going up. Then the shaping begins with decreasing and increasing. Finally decreasing and going up. So the shawl is done in 1 go, no grafting needed.
You can wear the shawl with the point in front or in the back and wrap the rest around the shoulders. Or, a bit more practical, fold it lenghtwise and wrap it around your neck to keep toasty.
IMPORTANT: i've dyed the yarn myself, These colours are NOT available in the Jamieson & Smith store in these shades. You can choose a different brand in the same range that does have more colour options. Preferably wool / a light and airy laceweight yarn.
