Annecy Shawl

A SILK-BLEND yarn brings a soft and glowing finish to this delicate shawl, designed by Bronagh Miskelly. It’s formed from a central diamond floral panel, with two wings worked in a mesh lace and simple garter stitch edgings.

PATTERN NOTES

The central diamond section is worked in the round from the centre out. The garter stitch border and mesh wing sections are added using the knitted-on method. If you are using interchangeable needles, place a stopper on one end of each needle when working the edging and wings. Find the charts on page 8 of this supplement.
