Saunton Sands Shawl Kit by Laura Penrose (Annual Five)
We now offer handy kits for all our patterns in The Annual (issue five)! This is the stunning Saunton Sands Shawl by Laura Penrose, inspired by the classic striped beach umbrellas we all love.
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!
Laura Penrose’s Saunton Sands Shawl fully embraces the fun and whimsical aesthetic of a vintage seaside holiday and is super fun to knit with its sideways construction. Go full kitsch with a fringe edging or keep it modern with a simple i-cord!
This pattern is fabulous for Sport and DK weight yarns, so we whipped up samples in both our Yarnadelic Sport and Devonia DK:
Samples
- Version 1 (Classic Pink): Devonia DK in Broken Flower and Devonia Cream
- Version 2 (Muted Purple): Yarnadelic Sport in Hey Moon and The Beautiful Ones
Please note: If you order a print copy of the Annual (issue five) with your kit, both of them will ship together in late August.
