Hedgerow Shawl in Knitting 260!

Hedgerow Shawl in Knitting 260!

Model is turning towards the camera and showing the blossom stitch pattern of their knitted shawl which is draped across their back.

My Hedgerow Shawl pays tribute to the sensitive approach to sustainability at Chilton grounds Farm and their resulting beautiful yarns.

Knitted in gorgeous Saxon DK yarn, the Hedgerow Shawl is worked from the top down, combining a wide rectangular centre section with triangular increase sections on either side.

A hedgerow-inspired blossom stitch pattern is worked within the centre rectangle. The outer triangles are knitted with garter stitch ridges separated by bands of stocking stitch. This creates a lovely contrast between the inner and outer parts of the shawl. All three sections are linked at the lower border with the blossom stitch pattern worked across the whole shawl.
