Senara Kit

About Senara

The lovely Senara shawl, designed by Anniken Allis, uses a typical Faroese construction, with a central wedge framed by two ‘wings’ which help the shawl to sit neatly on the shoulders. The project begins with a garter tab cast-on, and features a diamond lace pattern which forms scallops along the lower edge. Anniken’s design is knitted in Meadow, an exquisite laceweight yarn from The Fibre Co. which blends wool, silk, llama and linen fibres.

About the designer
Anniken is considered one of the UK’s leading lace designers and learnt to knit as a young child while growing up in Norway. Her designs feature a variety of techniques including lace, cables and fair isle and I’m well known for my beautiful lace shawls as well as garments. Anniken is an accomplished author and teacher and runs her own online shop called Yarn Addict.
