There are three bridges across the Firth of Forth, north of Edinburgh, and it’s the oldest of these, the iconic red railway bridge, which is the inspiration for this design.
A strong zig-zag stitch in three shades of red is used to interpret the bridge’s cantilever construction. A light-coloured neutral for the background acts as a foil for the three reds, while the sumptuous tassels as a note of luxury.

Yarn requirements are: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky in Pebble (11 balls), Burnt Orange (6 balls), Ruby (3 balls), Maroon (3 balls)
