My design Bobble Kite was first featured in Laine’s “52 weeks of chunky knits”, and is now available for individual purchase. Thank you so much to the Laine team for having me !

This cosy, reversible shawl is fun to knit and wear! It is all about the yarn — a chunky mohair — and the eye-catching bobble i-cord edges.

CONSTRUCTION
This shawl has a kite shape and begins with a Provisional Cast-On, after which the 3-stitch i-cord bobble edge is established. The shawl is worked flat, in two sections, with the 3-stitch i-cord bobble edge at either side. In section 1, increases are worked on every row while, at the same time, a central double decrease is worked in the centre on every WS row. In section 2, increases are only worked at the left edge. The total number of stitches of section 2 stays the same until the bind-off, which is a continuation of the 3-st i-cord bobble edge.
