The Melt shawl combines garter stitch with playful stripes, two-colour brioche and simple lace to keep you knitting “just one more row” all the way to the bind-off. We created some kits using our BFL Twist DK, a 100% superwash bluefaced Leicester wool with the perfect bounce and drape for this colourful shawl. There are two sizes available: you will need three or four skeins of the main colour, and one skein each of two contrasting colours.

It's always fun to have reliable patterns that you can return to time and again. Those designs that can be used as a blank canvas, providing the perfect space to add personal and creative touches with colours. It's a pattern you can relax into as you knit it over and over again. DRK Everyday Cowl by Andrea Mowry is exactly that, with its soothing garter stitch and polished slip stitches and i-cord edges. This cowl is worked flat on the bias and then seamed at the back neck, creating in a cowl that looks like a triangular shawl when worn, with none of the fuss of trying to style it!
