Lothian
If you purchase 5 of my self-published designs at the same time (they need to be in the same cart), you will get the least expensive for free!
This shawl brings so many cool memories. Most of it was knit while riding on Edinburgh Lothian buses with my knitting buddies and later family. It was a time of a lot of fun and such is this shawl - fun to make…and easy enough to knit on a bus ;-)
The shawl begins at the center and is worked outwards to the border. IT is worked in Garter stitch interrupted by rows of eyelets. The bottom half of the shawl features colorful lines shaped with short rows.
