Melanie Berg Leryne PDF

Melanie Berg’s Leryne is a big, slightly asymmetrical, triangular shawl, worked from the top down entirely in garter stitch. It has a wavy play of colors, created using short rows. The first stitch in every row is purled; all others are knitted. You start with the long side of the shawl and work decreases as you proceed. Decreases are made in wrong side rows until you reach the tip of the triangle. Color changes are done on the right-side rows.
