This elegant, wedge-shaped shawl has a patchwork appearance, yet it is worked in one piece using the intarsia technique to form different-coloured squares, and a lace stitch pattern to add texture and interest. The edging is worked in a rich claret colour, and also features the lace pattern. Francesca Hughes has used two yarns spun
in Devon by John Arbon: his classic Knit By Numbers organic merino, and a heavy laceweight called Alpaca 2-3ply.
