“I don’t like cricket, oh no. I love it.” ~ 10CC

What could be better than a day spent at the cricket? Yet as the play drifts on into the evening it can get a little chilly, so wrap yourself in this lightweight shawl. Personalise it with your team’s colours and keep snuggled up if rain stops play.

Fully written, line-by-line instructions, with simple stripes of colour make this heart-shaped cabled shawl a six for sure. The knitted-on lace edging adds a feminine and whimsical touch.
