“This beautiful, traditional pattern stitch originated in the Scottish Shetland Islands, where the famous Shetland lace knit shawls were created. This was one of the most popular of the lace stitches. Our afghan works up quickly on size 11 needles, and is made in three panels. We made our model in an ombre yarn, but it would be just as pretty worked in a solid color.” - The 7-Day Afghan Book
