Badbury Shawl
€6

The Badbury shawl is offered in two gauges ; 4 ply yarns and sport weight.

Following an ‘interesting’ game of yarn chicken on the first sport weight prototype, the pattern was re-knitted in 4 ply and worked fine with the extra yardage and smaller needles. However, I loved my Corriedale sport weight version which I was wearing daily by then so much, that I reworked the pattern so nobody else had to play chicken like I had.

The result – 2 different but very similar patterns supplied in a single pdf.

The combination of the garter stitch and contrasts sections work up in such a way that the shawl is reversible and some people prefer the reverse side to the right side.
