If you’ve already bought, the cowl pattern, Merinette, then this pattern is available automatically at 50%. This works the other way around too. If you buy Merin, then Merinette is available at 50% off; or buy both at the same time to get one at half price.

Merin came about as I couldn’t fnd a laceweight shawl pattern that would work well for two colours and wouldn’t be too complex to knit. A kite-shaped shawl is always fun to make. The pattern is created with a small “palette” of lace stitches and a lot of knit and purl thrown in. Hopefully, it will be a fun yet interesting knit. There are multiple sizes to fit your needs.
