Gilt Wood Shawl – by Francesca Hughes

Gilt Wood is a large square shawl, perfect for wrapping round shoulders on a cold day. Folded in two it is still plenty big enough to wrap you up. Using bramble stitch, yarn overs and fairisle sections it is a fun engaging knit. Started with a square knit flat, stitches are then picked up and knit around the square then knit in the round. Increases take place at the corners.
