La Baule Shawl Kit by Natalie Chautemps (Annual Five)

We now offer handy kits for all our patterns in The Annual (issue five)! This is the gorgeous La Baule Shawl by Natalie Chautemps – the perfect accessory for those moments when you need a little something to keep you warm on a long beach day.

All kits include enough yarn to knit the shawl, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Please be aware that the kit does not include a copy of The Annual – you can get your copy here. Happy knitting!

Natalie Chautemps’ La Baule Shawl is inspired by the French seaside resort of the same name. Situated in northwest France, it owes its fame to its very own beach which, at 9km long, is one of the longest in Europe.

Natalie combined playful garter stitch stripes with a soothing moss stitch texture reminiscent of sand – both guaranteed to make for delightful knitting and wearing! Plus: A fantastic chance to pick your favourite colours from one of our DK yarns – we used both the punchy bright colours of Knit by Numbers DK as well as the muted heathered tones of Appledore DK to show you how it can look like in different combinations.

Samples
