Shawl bonanza!

Reaching for a bright shawl must be one of the easiest ways to jolly up a top in super speedy time! Designer and Inside Crochet magazine favourite, Vicki Brown has taken her love of shawl making to create a new subscription box of six crochet shawl patterns, worked in her exclusive hand-dyed 4ply Merino wool/bamboo yarn. Available from January, the boxes will be delivered to your door every two months. The contents will remain a mystery, but you can find sneak peeks at Vicki’s Instagram page at @vixbrown. “None will be above an intermediate level,” adds Vicki. “There will be half circles, triangles, half hexagons and asymmetric shapes, so a little bit of everything! Shawls are so much fun to crochet, reasonably quick and so versatile. After discovering the joy of dyeing my own yarns, matching those with crochet shawls just seemed a perfect pairing.”
