A SILK-BLEND yarn brings a soft

and glowing finish to this delicate

sh awl , d e si g n e d by B ron a g h

Miskelly. It’s formed from a central

diamond floral panel, with two

wings worked in a mesh lace and

simple garter stitch edgings.

PATTERN NOTES

The central diamond section is worked

in the round from the centre out.

The garter stitch border and mesh

wing sections are added using the

knitted-on method. If you are using

interchangeable needles, place a

stopper on one end of each needle when

working the edging and wings. Find the

charts on page 8 of this supplement.
