Soft, graceful, and full of delicate colour, this half circle shawl is knitted using four beautiful shades of Hedgehog Fibres Oh So Fine Merino. Gentle colour transitions flow seamlessly across the fabric, creating a painterly effect that highlights the yarn’s signature speckles and tonal variation. A combination of simple textures, a brioche stitch border and airy stitch patterns add interest while allowing the luxurious merino to shine. Lightweight yet generously sized, this elegant shawl drapes beautifully over the shoulders, making it the perfect accessory for every season.
