Inspiration:
I wanted to do knit lace stranded.…Double coloured lace, WHAT? Yes, you read right. I will hooligan my way around knitting lace in 2 contrasting colours.
Yes, this pattern can be knitted in 1 colour, but you must admit the effects are so much “cooler” in 2. The lace eyelets, allow a slight peek to the wrong side, showing off the floats.
If you have followed the growth of Woolly Hooligan designs, you must know, I love them “floats”. I loved making this shawl, its super “funky” modern and eye-catching.
The pattern is meant to challenge, but not too much to make your head hurt. Just an unconventional lace in bright punchy colours. Fun.
Modification to turn this shawl into a cape let is provided.
Sizes:
One size. Finished measurement : 55 in (139cm) x 23 in (58 cm) approx.

Gauge:
20 sts/30 rows in a 4in (10cm) blocked, swatch knitted in St st on Size 6 (4mm) needles.
Yarn:
