BRONAGH MISKELLY
Marram
THIS SHAWL is worked in segments using short-row shaping to create a semi-circle. It pairs a section of stocking stitch with a deep band of leafy lace and a pointed lace edging. The project begins with a long provisional cast-on, which is later undone and the stitches picked up to work a picot cast-off around the upper edge. Bronagh Miskelly’s design is knitted in The Fibre Co.’s Cumbria Fingering, a lovely blend of mohair, Merino and Masham wool, which comes in 21 heathered shades.
