Construction Notes
Morven starts with the border, worked sideways until its entire length is reached. From there, stitches are picked up into the yarnovers at the inside edge of the border, and the bird’s eye lace pattern is worked across these stitches, with decreases occurring for shaping at the off-center spine and the edges. These decreases help shape the border from a straight rectangle into a right angle. Finally, short rows are worked back and forth over these remaining stitches to fill in the remainder of the shawl.
