Beautiful Solitude

Beautiful Solitude is a crescent shaped shawl that is a wonderfully quick and therapeutic knit. Worked in one colour it is understated and quietly sophisticated and when using two colours a whole world of wonderful colour combinations opens up allowing it to be knit time and again looking different each time. You will need two skeins of fingering weight yarn, I have used merino singles, for the one-colour version and one skein each of Yarn A and Yarn B for the two-colour version. When worked in three colours – the world is your oyster!

Beautiful Solitude is worked from the top down with bands of garter stitch interspersed with rows of star stitches that are highlighted with the second yarn. This main body is complemented by the dramatic border, worked in the second colour, that ties the whole shawl together to create unity and balance.
