Holyrood shawl begins at the center and is worked outwards to the border. It is worked in sections with various stitch patterns from garter stitch, through stripes to lace. The sample shawls are each worked in two contrasting colors but would look equally beautiful when knit in a variety of them – just look for leftovers and have fun mixing them. 

The pattern is fully charted and written out.
