Spreading some knitty joy during this difficult festive season -- all Katie Flora Knits patterns are on sale for $2 for one week, until midnight Friday 11th December. Stay well, and keep knitting. <3

In a world of neon and noise, it’s good to spend time walking the quiet ways. A squishy rustic yarn, gentle texture, and easy botanical lace combine to create an easy-to-wear wide triangle shawl you’ll want to wrap up in all year round. Find your favourite needles, and embrace the natural, the soft, the quiet.

Notes

Quiet Ways is worked from the top down, with increases on both the outer edges and on either side of the centre spine. The shawl is finished with an applied lace border which binds off the body stitches as you go.
