I wanted to create a shawl that was equally suitable for a newborn baby as for wearing and so I used a circular shaping to design this.

Its knitted using simple stitches in fingering/4ply/sock yarn that makes for a light and soft shawl. I used the beautiful yarn hand dyed by dandelions and daisies to create a piece with a vintage feel and colouring.

The working of the piece is from the centre outwards.

Its suitable for the intermediate knitter upwards and is a good project for someone wanting to create a piece working in the round.

Whether you create this as a birthing gift, or for yourself to wrap into, I hope you enjoy the making and use of the shawl.
