Cornflower Shawl by Stella Ackroyd
Cornflower Shawl by Stella Ackroyd
Knit in Fine Fettle Fibres Northumbrian Rose, this shawl is both pretty and warm. Traditionally constructed from a garter stitch tab beginning, the pretty flower lace detail is easily memorised and develops naturally in to the zigzag lace border, which flutes gently to create the delicate edging. Easily styled, this shawl is modern enough to wear casually with jeans and a crisply ironed shirt or more formally over a strappy dress. It can be very quickly knitted - the perfect holiday knit or a project for a knitter in a hurry!
NB: This is a printed pattern.
