Cranachan

Cranachan is a knitting pattern as delicious as its namesake. With masses of cosy and luxurious garter stitch for easy knitting, a delicate lace edging adding interest and completed with a beautiful rippling border, this asymmetrical shawl is a fun and engaging knit! Designed with three sizes in mind, it works with 100g, 200g and 300g of fingering weight yarn. The sample is shown in the medium size.

The pattern is fully written and charted so whichever way you like to read your patterns, you’re covered! The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos.
