What better way to learn to knit
a Faroese shawl than with a pattern for a teddy bear or doll! The size is suitable for 18" dolls and teddy bears, the perfect little
gift for children and collectors alike! All of the HeartStrings
Faroese shawls, including the Dolly Faroese Shawl, are knit from the
neck down so that you may get acquainted with your yarn on just a few
stitches. The shaping lends itself to easy wearing as it hugs the
shoulders and stays put.
Three variations are
included in the pattern. This basic pattern uses simple yarn over
increases to achieve the traditional center back panel, side panels,
front bands, and shaped shoulders.
Sizing - for an 18" doll or
teddy bear, this shawl is approximately 8" long as measured from center
back neck.
Yarn and Needles -
Approximately 100 yds. in a fingering weight or a light sportweight
yarn for each shawl. Sz. 8 U.S./5 mm needles of your choice; 4
markers, 1 of which is a different color.
Gauge: approximately 4
stitches and 6 rows per inch in garter stitch OR 5 stitches and 7 rows
per inch in stockinette stitch.
