Riverside Walks

This cosy, lightweight shawl is designed to be really wide so that it can be worn in lots of different ways. With sections of garter stitch and then short lace breaks it is a relaxing project which maintains interest throughout. There’s plenty of scope for playing with colour too - the lace sections are designed for a mini skein fade bundle but could just as easily be worked in random leftovers or all one colour.

This pattern contains both written and charted instructions for the lace sections.
