HKAL 2020 - WINTER LIGHTS & WOVEN CHEVRONS

September 17, 2024 1 min read

Winter Lights was the first Westknits Hiberknitalong Shawl in 2011, launching a brand new era of Westknits KALS! Knit with four colours in squishy garter stitch and slip stitch rays, Winter Lights is a classic that is sure to evoke feelings of snowy skies and cosy nights. Using only one colour at a time, this cosy shawl is surprisingly simple, making it the perfect winter project for adventurous beginners!

2020 had not one but two Hiberknitalong shawls! The Woven Chevrons Shawl is a graphic, sideways-knit design that starts at the small corner and increases toward the wide edge. I-cord edges frame the shawl as slip stitches create bold, geometric lines. The pattern repeat is easy to memorise, making it a relaxing knit, and you can customise the size by knitting more repeats. Using one main colour and three contrast colours, this shawl allows you to play with striking colour combinations, resulting in a woven effect that’s both modern and eye-catching.
