Stonehaven Shawl by Emma Vining

The Stonehaven Shawl is inspired by a delightful visit to the Aberdeenshire coastal town of

Stonehaven. The scalloped pattern reflects both the breaking waves of the North Sea and

shapes within a beautiful metal fence running along the sea front promenade.

The shawl is constructed top down, starting with a wide tab and then continuing as a central

wide rectangle and two outer triangle wings. The overall shawl shape is similar to a crescent

or a wide semi-circle. The scallop pattern is knitted within the central rectangle, with reverse

stocking stitch ridges extending into the outer triangles. The whole of the lower border is also

worked in the scallop pattern using a contrasting shade.
