Dirty Lace

 Dirty Lace by Truly Myrtle. Dirty Lace is a shawl you’ll grab every day when the weather turns cool. She’s a riot of colour, with gorgeous stripes and squishy texture created by her “dirty lace” garter backdrop. Wind her around your neck for a cosy pop of colour or drape her over your shoulders for an evening full of fun and dancing. Knitted from end to end, Dirty Lace is a long wrap worked on the bias, full of easy stitches that are oodles of fun to create. With only a handful of purl stitches, Dirty Lace knits up like a holiday – effortless, relaxing and just what your soul needs. Dirty Lace is the perfect canvas to combine a few special skeins of yarn that you couldn’t resist. Mix up a few unexpected colours or work with several shades of one. She seems free and wild but has a rhythm to her changes that will making choosing colours an adventure. The printed pattern includes charted and written instructions and the digital copy also includes a handy “colouring-page” to plan your colours. She’s perfect for experienced knitters and adventurous beginners.
