This is a pattern for a simple circular throw with a picot border, which can double up as a generously sized, ruffled shawl, when folded together in the middle.

For this project I used just over 550g of Hayfield Illusion dk yarn.

The yarn has a black colour base and a mix of changing bright colour shades.

The body of the shawl is worked in a simple stockinette stitch, which aims to showcase the yarn’s colour variations.

When complete, the shawl will measure approximately 1.1m in diameter and I recommend choosing Knit Pro interchangeable circular needles, as these will allow the progressive addition of cable extensions whilst knitting.

As this is an acrylic yarn, blocking with a steam iron is imperative when finishing to achieve best results.
