Shetland Trader Ninian PDF

Ninian by Gudrun Johnston is a simple and versatile sweater knit in lace-weight yarn and featuring a well-known Shetland lace pattern. It is worked from the bottom up in one piece separating at the underarms to work the back and front flat. Stitches are then picked up from the armhole, and short rows are used to shape the sleeve cap. The lace patterns are in chart form only.
