Armadale – inspired by the Isle of Skye

Named after the small village of Armadale on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, this shawl brings the magic of the island straight to your needles.

You begin at the upper center and knit your way down and out – stitch by stitch, the shawl grows into a flowing, elegant piece. For extra comfort, you can work a stretchy top edge: simply make a yarn over after the first stitch of every row and drop it again on the following row.

A design that captures lightness and space – perfect for wrapping up, dreaming, and feeling cozy.

Get the pattern and let yourself be inspired by the charm of Scotland ✨🧶
