Product Details

Slip stitches are a brilliant and surprisingly simple technique for combining different yarns and colours into a knitted item. While exploring ideas for this design, I came across some images of cross-stitched embroidery pieces and felt that the construction of these stitches could be ‘translated’ into knitting, to create an interesting and beautiful fabric.

This top-down semi-circular shawl uses elongated slipped stitches and cables to create an intricate pattern that is surprisingly easy to work. Only one colour is worked at a time. The shaping is created by the increases worked on the wrong side of the shawl.

Sample shown in Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk 4 Ply in he shades ‘Water Lily 005’ (MC) and ‘Piglet 001’ (CC).
