I had so much fun designing Moody Fairy! Like with my Trixie pattern, I wanted to play with fun stitch patterns, this time focusing on ones that used tuck, slip and brioche stitches. Paging through stitch dictionaries is one of my favourite things to do, so that’s where I started. Moody Fairy was destined to become the shawl that draws you in and you just can’t wait to get on the needles. This shawl earned it’s name for being both magical and moody. I hope you enjoy knitting it as much as I enjoyed designing it.
