Holyrood Shawl knitting pattern and add-on kit

This is the Holyrood Add-On Kit... simply choose your yarn and add it to your basket, along with this add-on, and I will make it up into a kit for you - it will include the download code and an ECY printed cotton project bag.

Please note that we will only post out this add-on as part of a full kit, ie. with the the yarn bought for the shawl (you will need 400m of each shade).

Justyna designed this shawl to celebrate visiting Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2016. We both wore our shawls there and they were much admired, and lovely to wear. Being a generously sized crescent shape, this shawl works both worn wrapped cosily around the neck, and draped around the shoulders. 

Holyrood shawl begins at the center and is worked outwards to the border. It is worked in sections with various stitch patterns from garter stitch, through stripes to lace. The sample shawls are each worked in two contrasting colors but would look equally beautiful when knit in a variety of them – just look for leftovers and have fun mixing them. 

The pattern is fully charted and written out.
