The Kemmick Shawl is one of six patterns in issue three of John Arbon Textiles’ in house magazine, The Annual.

Designed by Anna Husemann, Kemmick is a modern Garter and Intarsia knitting pattern with two colour palettes inspired by the landscape of Exmoor and the seascape of the north-Devon coastline. This pattern looks like a beautiful aerial view of the fields around Exmoor, so we called it ‘Kemmick’ which means Flax Field, which we thought would be perfect for a textile interpretation of fields!

Knitted from corner to corner, this colourful scarf of abstract interlocking shapes is perfectly paired with our Knit by Numbers DK minis. With over 100 different shades to choose from, the only limit is your imagination!

Gauge
24 sts x 19 ridges (38 rows) = 10 cm / 4” in Garter Stitch, measured after washing and blocking.

Needles 
3.5 mm / US 4 circular needles

Always use a pair of needles which results in the correct gauge after blocking.

Pattern Notes
This shawl is knitted sideways in garter stitch with increases and decreases occurring every fourth row. There is a black and white chart which details all the colour placement, so you may wish to colour it in yourself.

Don’t worry if you’re new to intarsia, this publication has a helpful article, taking you through all the steps.
