This is a placeholder for the first of six upcoming secret shawl patterns in The Shawl Society 6. The collection is available to purchase here at the special Early Bird price of £10.95, available until the first shawl is revealed on Thursday, 23rd April, after which the collection price rises to £18. (Just a small thank you for joining me sight unseen.)

At first glance, today London seems like a hectic, hyper-urban landscape. But when you slow down and look through a different lens, a quieter side of the city reveals itself. The Shawl Society 6 collection is inspired by my field notes from a relaxed wander through London: the hidden corners, lively markets and leafy garden squares that the locals know and love.

Each design draws on subtle architectural textures, echoing the quiet geometry of bridges, brick terraces, and weathered cobblestones: winding lanes layered with centuries of brick and stone, ivy climbing old walls, and the graceful lines of cast-iron railings.

These shawls are designed to be calm, satisfying knits: simple stitches, subtle details, and plenty of space to enjoy the rhythm of the yarn in your hands. Each month a new pattern will be revealed, gradually building the collection. Choose your yarn, cast on, and see where the journey takes you.

This is a pre-sale, so before the first pattern drops, you will receive a placeholder PDF with all the info you need to prepare. Each pattern will then be automatically added to your Ravelry library (please make sure you’re logged in when you purchase the collection!)
