This shawl features a fun stitch pattern to give you cute ladders without the instability of dropped stitches! The edge is made with super soft Juniper Moon Farm Herriot Fine giving you a delicious ending to a gorgeous wearable piece! You’ll need size 7 needles for this shawl, but the kit, available here, comes with the one ball of Silk Garden Sock and 1 ball of Herriot Fine in your chosen colors. The sample uses Silk Garden Sock S396 and Herriot Fine 2026.

Ladders will be free with purchase of any of my other patterns (put both in your cart before using the code) and code FLAD for one week.
