Nile Delta - PDF knitting pattern
Introductory discount of 25% off (coupon code: Delta) until midnight, Monday, August 21 (UK / BST time zone). Thank you for purchasing the pattern!
A river delta is a landform, shaped like a triangle when a river meets a slower-moving body of water like an ocean, lake, or reservoir. This scientific definition of a delta cannot describe the beauty of a river delta seen from a birds-eye view.
The shawl is worked with just one colour per row. Intricate 3/2/3 slip-stitch cables (described in the pattern) are the main feature on the body of the shawl. The lace border is a unique variation of the Feather and Fan pattern.
