The Victoria Shawl is the second design from lace knitter extraordinaire Aisling Doonan aka Rubysasha. Knitted using one skein of hand dyed 4ply/fingering weight yarn it’s perfect to wear dressed up or down.

Wanting to make a visually stunning shawl from just one skein that wasn’t too complicated, Aisling embraced her love of double yarn overs to make something special. Her fondness for all things Victorian resulted in the shawls name.**
