Emri Shawlette
Emri Shawlette Â
Designed by Rachel Brockman Â
PATTERN NOTES Â
At first glance, Emri looks like a triangular shawl. Which it is! But there are several fun and unusual components to this project. Â
First, the stitch pattern in Emri is striped, but with a fun twist. Every four rows a “dip” stitch is made, blending two colors together. Â
Second, Emri has an interesting construction. The center section is worked from the top down. The “wings” are picked up from the center section and worked outward. Â
And third, to finish things off, stitches are picked up along the bottom edge and worked in a sequence of garter stripes. The design is finished with a tidy I-cord bind off in a contrasting color. For your convenience a diagram is included that illustrates the construction of this pattern. Â
When working in Stripes Pattern, do not break yarn at the end of each stripe. Instead, twist the strands of yarn around one another every RS row. Â
