Design Details
Dunedrifter Shawl blends structured lace with the rustic charm of New Zealand wool. Inspired by our beloved [Dunedrifter Top](https://ravel.me/dunedrifter), the stunning lace motif flows effortlessly across the fabric. The bias-drape and asymmetrical design wrap effortlessly, offering both style and warmth for those cool evenings. With long, meditative rows, this shawl is simple yet captivating, making each stitch a joy.
Construction
Worked flat starting at a single tip, the shawl expands with increases to create a sweeping bias cut. The long, asymmetrical triangle shape is designed for easy draping, making it a versatile accessory for any outfit. The lace motif adds a rhythmic, meditative quality to your knitting experience.

Explore your stash and pick tonal or hand-dyed solid color fingering yarn that speaks to you. We’ve chosen Union Fibre Single Ply merino fingering for its crisp stitch definition and rich texture, ensuring the lacework stands out beautifully. While variegated yarns might obscure the pattern, feel free to experiment with luxurious blends like silk, linen, or yak for added texture and drape.
