Feyrow is a side-to-side “half donut” shawl shaped entirely with short rows. The gentle curve obtained makes the shawl very easy to wear, because it stays put on your shoulder.
The decorative motif is a variation on a stitch pattern originally featured in Short-Row Colorwork Knitting by Woolly Wormhead, adapted and expanded with additional background rows to create a bolder rhythm.
Short rows inserted on the left side of each motif allow to shape the shawl in its peculiar shape, while small gathered stitches add texture and a flicker of movement, lovely on both right and wrong sides.
