Duke St. Shawl

In the chilly months of the year, I find myself wrapping up in the afternoons with both a sweater and a shawl as I work. Since warm layers are always in style for knitters, why not make yourself one that’s fast to knit and a little lacy around the edges at the same time? This shawl will keep you cozy at home as a loose layer around your neck and shoulders, or just as easily accompany you out the door as a winter accessory to bundle up underneath your coat.

The Duke Street shawl is named for one of the many stately residential streets in downtown Hamilton, where heritage row houses and single storey former cottages mix with new condos and apartment buildings alike. The shawl is perfect for 3 skeins of your favourite colour of Tanis Fiber Arts Orange Label aran or Green Label aran, or your preferred worsted weight wool or wool blend yarn.
