Stella Ackroyd designed Cragside to be big and embracing whilst at the same time beautiful and engaging to knit. The reversible triangular shawl is worked top-down from a garter stitch tab in a classic all-over lace fabric with a central eyelet spine and a delicate chevron border. It’s the kind of project which looks complicated, but the lace pattern is actually easy to memorise. Named after a local country estate, Cragside reflects the tranquil beauty of practical everyday living.
