Armagnac

$7.00

Armagnac is a giant, lofty shawl featuring lots of garter stitch and three columns of lace leaves. The leaves show up beautifully against the texture of the garter, with a gorgeous line along the sides of each column that really makes the lace distinct against the background.

The shawl is begun as a lace tip and increased every right side row until complete. It’s designed so that all 3 columns are worked on the same chart row once established, making the lace easy to memorize - and the garter stitch sections provide a nice break from attention paid as well.

Lace is both charted and written.

Since this IS a shawl, exact gauge is not important, but note that size may vary. Pattern is easily modified for more or less yardage and can be worked easily to any desired size once the 3 lace columns are established.

Yarn: Jill Draper Makes Stuff Mohonk Light, (100% Cormo Wool, 550yds/503m per 3.99oz/113g skein). Shown in Martian.

If you need to substitute, I suggest a Fingering to Sport weight yarn, worked on #5 or #6 needle so that the fabric has drape, but also stitch definition. Another Cormo or Targhee wool would have a similar loft and drape to the Mohonk, but this design would also work in a variety of different yarns.
