When I spent watching people paragliding in Eastern Switzerland, I saw lots of butterflies. The canton of Appenzell has for „butterfly“ a special word:

Flickflauder [flɪkflaʊdeːɐ]

This inspired me to design the triangular shawl. The body of the Flickflauder shawl is knitted in stockinette, surrounded by a lace border with butterflies. The lace is knitted on both sides. Therefore it‘s recommended for intermediate knitters.

The lace includes gathered stitches. In the pattern is a tutorial included how to knit this specific stitch.

The instructions are charted and written.
