Pear Drop
Pear Drop is also available as part of the collection Saturday Treat which comes with instant ebook access.
A delicate semi-circular shawl that can be worked in 
two sizes. The edging, worked first from side to side, 
features points incorporating the traditional Cat’s Eye 
mesh pattern combined with columns of fagotting; 
variations on edgings in this style can be found in many 
traditional Shetland shawls. It begins and ends with 
longer points, extending the length of the shawl and 
making it easier to wear as a scarf. Stitches are picked 
up from the yarn overs along the straight side of the 
edging and worked into the centre of the shawl. Ever 
closer rings of concentric decreases create a semi-circle 
and are highlighted with a simple double yarn over 
stripe that echoes the patterning on the edging.
