Randalín is based on a shawl knitted by Sigurbjörg Þorláksdóttir from Reykjavík in 1982. The colors are arranged like hers but decreases are evenly distributed and the neckline added. In the past, various knitting designs similar to this shawl were quite common on all kinds of clothing. Sometimes this knit trellis pattern was used instead of ribbing on mittens but most often it was used on the so called “sheaths” or sleeves that were knitted cylinders used to shield the wrists and forearms.

Randalín is a lovely striped shawl with a rose trellis pattern on a garter stitch background. It’s knitted from the bottom up and with only a 2 row repeat to follow, it’s both quick and easy. It is part of the book Þríhyrnur og langsjöl (Three Cornered and Long Shawls), a reference for traditional Icelandic lace shawls. Hélène revised the pattern with a new chart and written instructions. Cozy when knit with Love Story in Natural Brown and Hot Spring Blue, or make a fashion statement in Thyme Purple and Salmon Orange.
