“Peri Peri” (which means “to go around” in Sicilian dialect) is an asymmetrical shawl with an unusual shape, knit in a simple stitch pattern which decorates the entire width of the shawl. The lace pattern is a variant of an old Shetland lace stitch called “Feather and Fan” and I like it very much because its harmonious shapes remind me of the weaves of the Mediterranean sea.
You start knitting from the narrow tip of the shawl and the increases are positioned only on one side of the shawl, giving it an asymmetrical triangle shape. The shawl can be made as long or as short as you want, depending on how much yarn you have. The shawl is finished with I-cord borders for a tailored look.
