Scottish Highlands

Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes and ancient abbey ruins of Scotland, Scottish Highlands by Kay Hopkins is an elegant triangular shawl that beautifully combines soothing garter stitch with graceful lace motifs. Part of the Celtic Shawl Collection, this design offers a relaxing knitting experience while producing a timeless accessory full of texture and movement.

The shawl is worked seamlessly from the top down and features a harmonious balance of stockinette, garter stitch, eyelet details, and delicate lace sections. The pattern includes several customization options, allowing knitters to create a truly personal project. You can knit it in a single color, experiment with contrasting color combinations, or showcase a beautiful gradient yarn. Optional eyelet lace ribbon inserts provide even more opportunities to personalize the finished shawl.

Designed for fingering-weight yarn with excellent drape, Scottish Highlands is especially stunning when worked in hand-dyed or tonal yarns, highlighting the flowing stitch patterns without overwhelming the lace details.

Two finished sizes are included, making it easy to knit either a comfortable everyday shawl or a generously sized wrap for cooler weather.
