Kath Andrews has designed this cosy shawl for our new five-part knitalong, starting in issue 185 of the Knitter. Here, we begin with the uppermost section of the shawl, which features a lace stitch pattern called Open Hourglass. Kath’s design has stripes worked in two colours and an array of lace stitch patterns, with an intricate knitted-on edging. It’s worked in the wonderful Fleece Bluefaced Leicester yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners.
