RACE AWAY is a large, soft and enveloping elegant wrap, just glorious to drape around your body. Warm Moonshine (or any of our soft and luxurious 4ply yarn) can be used to create this shawl. A garter stitch border accented with an asymmetrical triangular shape, increasing until you have 10m of yarn left to complete the last border.

I created my design company to challenge the misconception of ‘easy is dull’. What I create is simple in form, pleasing to knit and a delight to wear. The yarns I sell are luscious and the hand-made original shawl-pins are not only beautiful to look at but also delicate and light.

YOU WILL NEED
2 x 100g WARM MOONSHINE (400m/100g, 70% alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere) or any other BHR 4ply yarn
4.5mm circular needle (60cm), worked forwards and backwards

FINISHED SIZE (when washed and hung to dry)
Length 250cm, width of stocking st section 100cm, width of border 22cm

GAUGE
18st to 10cm worked over stocking st on 4.5mm needles – although gauge not important for this shawl
