up your colourful leftover yarns. Many of the shawls would make
excellent gifts - particularly as 'prayer shawls' - and of course,
one size fits all! This collection of patterns from Laura Strutt

variegated yarns, and neutrals, while many of the patterns use the
increasingly popular super-chunky and variegated yarns. First
