Ishneich

**This is the seventh and final design in the *[Celtic Cable Shawls][1]* collection ** Ishneich is a top-down triangular shawl, designed to work well with a variegated yarn and a co-ordinating solid or semi-solid. The cabled section features a Celtic knot comprised of a single strand looping around itself. Two lateral braids are worked after the cabled section, and finally a lace edging is knitted on perpendicularly. In the materials list, Yarn A refers to the semi-solid yarn used for the cabled section and Yarn B refers to the variegated background yarn used in the body section and lace edging. **Sizes & Measurements** S \[L\] *Shown in size L* Length of neck edge: 45 \[60\]"/(114 \[152.5\] cm) Neck edge to centre point: 22.5 \[30\]"/(57 \[76\] cm) **Materials** • 4.0 mm/US size 6 needles (or size needed to obtain gauge; long circulars recommended) • Yarn A: 285 \[370\] yds/(261 \[338\] m) of fingering weight yarn (sample shown in Malabrigo Sock, ‘Aguas’ [100% merino, 440 yds/(402 m) per 100 g]) • Yarn B: 205 \[268\] yds/(187 \[245\] m) of fingering weight yarn (sample shown in Malabrigo Sock, 'Pocion') • Cable needle • 2 stitch markers • Darning needle • Pins/wires for blocking • Waste yarn **Skill Level** Intermediate to advanced.
