BRACKEL

This triangular shawl is inspired by a silky embroidery piece stitched by Aleks’ great-grandmother, Agnes Brackel. The texture of the cloth has been translated into a delicious Seed Stitch with stripes of Roosimine Estonian Inlay. The shawl is knitted flat, beginning with a Garter Stitch Tab. Stitches are increased on either side of Garter Stitch edging and shawl spine until wingspan measurement is achieved.
