Aiaia
Aiaia is a light and airy shawl, perfect for Summer and the transition into Fall. Knit from side to side, Aiaia is an asymmetric triangle. Knit on the bias, increasing on one side while decreasing on the other, it’s a fun shape to knit. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what knitting on the bias is, you won’t even notice you’re doing it!)
Most of the shawl consists of short lace repeats with a few garter panel ‘interruptions.’ Easy to memorize, you’ll get into the rhythm in no time.
There are two sizes to choose from, shawlette and large. The shawlette size has a 73”/185.5 cm wingspan and a center depth of 17.5”/44.5 cm. The large size has a 95”/241 cm wingspan and a center depth of 23”/58.5 cm. Whether you want a 6’ shawl or and 8’ shawl, Aiaia has you covered.
