julie's wedding shawl

a wedding shawl for my friend julie.

pattern: shetland triangle from wrap style

needles: size 5 US (couldn’t find the 6s)

yarn: malabrigo sock, chosen by the bride to match mitch’s brown vest

what a great, simple, elegant pattern.

since i went down a needle size, i added 4 extra repeats of the pattern before the edging… and unbelievably came in at under one skein of yarn.  i also finished all the way to the bind off once before – adding 2 extra repeats and then decided it was too small.  good thing i ripped because i think it turned out perfect.
