Jeg Lagde Meg (As I Lay Down) is the third shawl in the Folk Song KAL.
It is inspired by a Norwegian folk song, in which the singer finds out that his beloved is ill. He hurries to her side only to find that he has arrived too late and she has died. He then sings of his grief – no one has been loved more than she.
The shawl comes in three different sizes – this picture shows the small version. One 600 yd skein of Krissy from Land O Lace is enough for any of the three sizes. The yarn comes in many different colours, of course, and this one is called Waconia.
The shawl is a crescent shaped shawl and is knit from the bottom up.
