BIRTHDAY BASH!
Two fun projects to celebrate Black Sheep Wools’ 40th year
2 FABULOUS PATTERNS INSIDE
Field of daisies
Drape yourself in luxury with a soft-as-air wrap by Helen Ardley, complete with subtly beaded edges
When working the edging, thread beads onto the yarn, then work a round of double crochet
The shawl is made up of two stitch patterns, which are worked in three sections
Sara Mulvey of Black Sheep Wools modelled this floaty jewel-toned shawl for us. It’s hooked in one of her favourite yarns, too!
NOTES Shawl is worked in rows throughout. There are 2 stitch patterns: Pattern One and Pattern Two. Edging is worked around the Shawl at the end.
