With simplicity and warmth in mind, this shawl will add so much to your already fabulous wardrobe. Ballyholme is a cozy worsted triangular shawl that is knit top down with gradient eyelets that start from the top and gradually fade as you knit down the shawl ending with a border of garter stitch. Are triangular shawls new to you? Is lace something you’ve always wanted to try? Ballyholme is a great knit as an intro to both, and if you just need a break from all the large complicated projects in your life this will be perfect.
