Dusk On The Moor Shawl

There is a moor in my hometown in Brittany where there used to be a lead mine. I’ve always loved to go for a walk there when the sun goes down and all the lines of the landscape start to blur and blend together in the last beautiful lights of the day. This shawl is inspired by this magic time when we start to remember the ancient stories of spirits and creatures living on the moor at night and tricking the lost traveller.

Dusk on the Moor is a half-pi shawl knitted flat from the centre to the edges on a long circular needle. It alternates portions of stockinette stitch and a simple lace pattern worked in garter stitch.

Knitted in a soft and airy merino-silk fingering yarn, it’s the perfect shawl to wear all summer on your shoulders over a pretty white dress.
