Tonbo, the japanese word for dragon fly. Garter stitch, short rows and a delicate lace motive turn this lofty yarn into a romantic triangular shawl. The construction is a variation of a classic triangular shawl, worked from the center top out- and downwards with increases. At the same time short rows help increasing width. The effectful eye-catcher border uses an Estonian lace pattern with nupps. The shawl is knitted with the ITO yarn „Shimo“. With its mix of 80% wool and 20% silk it is the perfect yarn choice. The fabric is light but has a wonderful drape. The yarn is available in a beautiful color palette and especially the light colours help the patterns to unfold their beauty like the delicate wings of a dragon fly. A balanced appearance is created by the nupps. Not only do they add an interesting texture to the shawl but also weight to the border. Buy the pattern here.
