Update:
Please cast on 18 sts. I accidentally omitted that (rather key detail) from the version of the pattern I first posted. Let’s pretend it was an Easter egg, to see who was paying attention. You passed the test! The new version of the .pdf includes the cast on info, and I sent an update to everyone who had already downloaded it.
Our Powys is an asymmetric shawl worked in garter stitch on the bias. The simple lines and hearty warmth of the shawl are true to the peasant roots of the Powys region, but the stunning hand-dyed colors and ribbons of lace nod to the area’s claim to paradise. The piece is a relaxing knit, with just enough knitterly shaping and zig-zag mesh to keep it interesting, and the resulting shawl can be dressed up or down to great effect.
Powys includes both charted and fully written out instructions.
