Astris Shawl Kit

Astris Shawl is a sophisticated triangular shawl full of elegance and texture that is easy-to-wear and easy-to-care-for. The first section is worked in simple garter stitch, the second and third sections feature a series of eyelet motifs, and the final section is an elegant lace edge. ‘Astris’ means ‘stars’ in Latin and are beautifully depicted in the cascading eyelets in this pattern. Knit in Amble – an eco-friendly blend of washable wool and alpaca for comfort, as well as recycled nylon for strength – this stylish shawl is a project with a conscience.
