DIAMOND SHAWL
Vicky Gorry’s stunning shawl, in soft variegated cotton, is a must-have.
This unusual shawl is made up of motifs worked in an openwork pattern, which are joined together as you go. Designer Vicky has chosen an oh-so soft variegated cotton yarn with gentle colour changes. Choose from nine colourways from cool to hot shades – perfect for warmer days.
NOTES
The Shawl is made from individual Diamond Motifs, joined together on the last round of each Motif. Motifs are worked in rounds on the RS throughout. Each Motif is joined to adjacent Motifs with a ss at 2 points. To construct, make a row of four Diamond Motifs, then make and construct, working in rows of 4 Motifs. Please refer to the image when constructing your Shawl.
