Delmare is a top-down garter and lace shawl which features a colorful wavy border composed of a variation of the traditional Shetland lace pattern known as Old Shale. Delmare alternates colorful garter eyelet stripes with squishy wide garter bands on the shawl body, which then flow into waves of contrasting colors.
Considering that so many Shetland lace patterns were inspired by nature, it is certainly not a coincidence that one of the most popular lace patterns from these northern Atlantic islands evokes the sea, as one is never more than three miles away from it at any point on any island. And so I named the shawl Delmare, which means “of the sea.”
Delmare is a relaxing and intuitive knit, suitable for newbie lace knitters as well as more experienced knitters looking for a social or TV knit. There are multiple ways to customize the size; full instructions are provided, including how to recalculate stitch counts.
The Delmare pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
