This pattern was originally published in52 Weeks of Shawls* by Laine Publishing.*

Silta is a symmetrical triangular shawl worked from top to bottom. The shawl initially shifts through a variety of texture sections within a single yarn color. It allows you to appreciate each different stitch pattern while still maintaining a cohesive feel. Silta was inspired by the architectural lines of an old bridge – hence the name, which is Finnish for “bridge”. The dark blue paired with the dusty beige reminded Tif Neilan of vintage items, something old and loved, and felt like a combination she could pair with many items in her wardrobe.
