Celebration Jubilee Shawl
This Shawl was inspired to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Although one size it could of course be made shorter if desired.

I wanted to produce something that I thought could be enjoyed by a wide range of ages, on a variety of occasions, and something that the Queen might like herself. A shawl was the perfect choice.

Pink (Tourmaline) was a popular favourite for Blacker Yarns, and I love it too. It is a colour which has been worn by the Queen many times throughout her long reign. I really love this fashionable dusky pink which compliments many other colours and will add warmth when worn with casual pastels, or when you dress up for a more formal event. The yarn we have chosen is something light and summery - a lightweight 4-ply yarn, with 50% Linen.

The subtle blush colour of the scarf commanded an elegant design, with a delicate border. The pattern has been developed using the Branching Lace Stitch, which is a good introduction to lace knitting. The shawl can be worn in a number of different ways for a chic and dignified look.

As I have said in the pattern, always do your Tension Square and adjust as stated, if need be.

Blacker Yarns specialise in breed specific British Wool yarn all spun and processed in Cornwall and consist of 100% natural fibres.

The pattern could be knitted with other 4-ply wool, but do your test square first to ensure you are going to have enough yarn.

The pattern uses:

• 250g of 4-ply yarn (50% Wool & 50% Linen)
• You will also need 8 stitch markers and a wool needle to sew together
