I needed a super cosy wrap for the cold Winter months and I am thrilled at how elegant this shawl has turned out. Made from just four skeins of super soft chunky weight alpaca, Highland Fling knits up very quickly - perfect for a last-minute gift or relaxing holiday project. The shawl is designed for versatility, its clever shaping and fullness of width meaning that it clings gently to the shoulders in wear, whilst its gentle shallowness allows it to be easily slipped up to become a snuggly scarf on Winter walks. The pattern is short and easy to follow and includes a border chart to support the written instructions. I’m thrilled with the result and know that I’m going to get lots of wear from this new wardrobe staple!
