Welcome to Brighton! This design is worked in single coloured rows on a circular needle which creates an interesting, reversible two tone lace effect with a wonderfully springy texture. The scarf is not only named in honour of my hometown here in the UK but like many of my designs it celebrates my West Indian heritage as there’s also a Brighton in Barbados. I chose the combination of Calypso with Caramel because they bring together the warm brown tones of the shingle beach with the bright clear blue of the sea and to add a hint of peril the scarf is finished at each end with a Shark’s Tooth lace edge.
