Jen Hagan Design Balla Mara Shawl PDF

A wavy line of eyelets represents bubbly sea waves as they crash against a wall of subtle cable "stones." Thus, the Balla Mara from Jen Hagan Design was born, meaning "sea wall” in Gaelic. The shawl work begins at its pointy deepest, and by increasing two stitches every right-side row, you build a shawl wide enough for wrapping yourself in coziness. The cable and lace patterns are charted and written out.
