Thórhildur
The pattern is available in 7 languages including Faroese (on icelandicknitter.com)
Thórhildur is an Icelandic shawl mixing tradition and modernity, knitted with my beautiful Love Story.
It is knitted from the top down with an elongated crescent shape. It starts with a garter stitch body then features traditional elements of Icelandic lace shawls such as a spider lace motif with bands of eyelets rows and undulating motifs. The intricate lacy border with opened diamonds is true lace (lace in every row) and is worked sideways.
