This shawl is a love letter to the Sox On The Beach and Nicky in particular. Thank you for being so inclusive and welcoming. You fill me with joy, energy and inspiration every time! <3

Sox On The Beach is a group of knitters from (mostly) southeast England. The group meets semi-regularly and it’s a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone is made feel welcome. This group has come to mean a lot of my designing and it was through this group I met Vykky from West Green Loft Yarns and we decided to work together on a design, the Soxette Shawl, an homage to Sox on the Beach.

The shawl uses two 100g skeins of West Green Loft Yarns 100% merino, 400m/100g and one skein of WGLY Silk+Mohair, 400m/50g. You can find the kit for the pattern+yarn here!

If you don’t like mohair you can swap the yarn for any lace yarn.
