Loyne Shawl

The Loyne shawl uses a three colour Fleur de Lys pattern to create a wide shallow triangular shawl in a warm and bouncy fabric; making it the perfect unisex alternative to a scarf that can also be worn bandana style.

The stitch pattern is deceptively simple, looking more complicated than it actually is, and if you can make a garter stitch scarf, you’ll be able to make this shawl.

The shawl is worked from the bottom up and instructions are given for two sizes - small and large, although you can work as many repeats of the 6 row stitch pattern as you choose or have yarn for.

Loyne remains a great shawl or bandana scarf for using up leftovers of fingering or sport weight yarns and a great opportunity to combine your favourite colours.
