The Fisherman’s Shawl by Maxim Cyr is a beautiful, airy shawl that features a simple lace pattern created by combining yarn-overs and knit-two-togethers, resulting in a light, open fabric that shines in two colours. With an easy-to-memorise repeat, it is a relaxing, engaging knit that offers a nice alternative to garter or stockinette stitch shawls.
Kits are available here.
