Arbury is a semi-circular shawl which uses two different types of yarn - a solid / semi solid yarn and a variegated yarn - to create stunning chevron stripes and blocks of colour.

Using this combination of semi-solid and variegated yarn adds extra interest to the stripe section. The pattern moves from chevron stripes into a short row section that showcases the variegated yarn. In the sample shawl this is a gorgeous skein of Riverknits Chimera in the Pomegranate colourway.

A deep border incorporating a simple lace pattern and dramatic points finishes the shawl.
