Black Death

A top-down, triangular shawl with eyelets and a simple lace border. This was designed when I was housebound with a deep tissue infection in my leg that would have made any Fourteenth Century peasant proud, hence the somewhat macabre name. It’s a soothing and addictive knit for anyone in need of a little yarn therapy, and once finished will provide cosy protection against any chill.

Instructions are given for two sizes, the small size, shown in black, is the original Malabrigo Worsted version and makes a scarf that can be looped around the neck without falling off. The larger size, shown in red, is in Malabrigo Rios, and can be worn as either a shawl or a scarf.
