Pumarada

Pumarada is a crescent shaped shawl with a very simple and delicate lace pattern (perfect for beginners). You can make it with any weight yarn, from fingering to worsted, without changing needle size – it will only affect how see-through the final material is.

The word Pumarada means apple orchard in the region of northern Spain where I’m from.

This is a very simple shawl and I’ve included links to videotutorials for the techniques you will need and all the stitches used in the pattern, as well as the picot bind off.

MATERIALS

• 6 mm (US 10) circular needles, 80 cm (32”) long. It’s also possible to use straight needles.
  
• 2 markers

YARN

400 m (437 yards) fingering weight yarn. I used Purl & Poem, in the Pink blossom falling on you colourway (70% baby alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere), 400 m per 100 g.

I also did a version in worsted weight yarn using Malabrigo Rios in the Paris Night colourway. I used 460 m (240 g). Navy blue shawl in the photos.

DIMENSIONS

Approximately 180 cm (71”) wide x 52 cm (20.5”) deep after blocking

GAUGE

16 stitches and 22 rows in 10 cm (4”) in stockinette stitch after blocking.

Gauge is not important for this shawl but it can affect the final dimensions or amount of yarn you need.
