Treat yourself to some everyday luxury with this silky, triangular shawl
BRONAGH MISKELLY
THIS LIGHTWEIGHT shawl design by Bronagh Miskelly is knitted in a dreamy blend of Falklands wool and mulberry silk from West Yorkshire Spinners, called Exquisite 4ply. It offers an elegant drape, softness and sheen, along with well defined stitches. Bronagh’s shawl has three panels of mock cables formed from lace stitches radiating from the centre top, a mock cable upper edging, and a row of eyelets along the bottom.
PATTERN NOTES
The shawl starts with a long tab cast-on which is worked from both ends. There are two options for this start: either using Judy’s Magic Cast On, or using a crochet provisional cast-on method. For guidance on Judy’s Magic Cast On, see our masterclass in Issue 190, or watch a video at http://bit.ly/judymagicco For guidance on working crochet provisional cast-ons, see our masterclass in Issue 199.
