A generous shawl designed to wrap you in colour and comfort. Bands of slipped stitches and delicate eyelets flow outwards from the centre, creating a beautifully textured fabric with graceful drape. The shifting blend of turquoise, pink, cream and deep violet highlights every change in stitch pattern, while the long wings offer endless styling possibilities. Light, airy and wonderfully cosy, this is a striking statement piece that is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.
