Bailey’s most recent project for the shop is “Isla Shawl,” a sweet little kerchief knit with Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool.
“Isla Shawl” was designed by Astrid Troland, using a slip stitch colorwork motif she has returned to again and again.
Bailey’s color palette is relatively low contrast, so she knit a few swatches with the colors in different arrangements until she came up with one she liked. We encourage you to do the same, since there’s plenty of yardage on each ball for the whole “Isla Shawl,” along with extra swatches!
I picked out six more color combinations besides, and doodled them for a preview of the scarves I hope they become!
