In the 1930’s, the knitters in Haapsalu, Estonia developed a style of triangular scarf that showed to full advantage their beautiful knitted lace patterns. In this class, learn how these special scarves were made: starting with the decorative lace edge at the top, the open-work center pattern (including the Estonian technique of nupps) which decreases to the “point” of the triangle and how to attach the separate outer edge in the traditional method of sewing it to the center.

When you complete our miniature scarf, you will have the skills to make not only this lovely version of a full sized triangular scarf, but also the skills necessary to make a true Haapsalu shawl.
