Cragside by Stella Ackroyd
Cragside by Stella Ackroyd
Stella Ackroyd designed Cragside to be big and embracing whilst at the same time beautiful and engaging to knit. The reversible triangular shawl is worked top-down from a garter stitch tab in a classic all-over lace fabric with a central eyelet spine and a delicate chevron border. It’s the kind of project which looks complicated, but the lace pattern is actually easy to memorise. Named after a local country estate, Cragside reflects the tranquil beauty of practical everyday living.
