The story of Marin begins back in 2012 when Ysolda visited the mind-blowing Marin Civic Centre in California. This magical building, of whorling semi-circles and fluid lines that span the structure, left a deep impression. Ysolda was so inspired by this architectural delight that she turned it into a pattern (of course!) and so Marin was born. In it you can recognise the symmetrical patterning and reversible structure evident in the original inspiration.
Now available in two sizes, the original small version can be made with just one skein, while the larger version gives more fabric to cosy up in. Knit from side to side with long points and a shape that curves gently around your neck, Marin is the perfect accompaniment to every outfit. Unusually for something so light there’s no lace – the whole shawl is worked in garter stitch and ribbing with a few effectively placed cables and neat slipped stitch selvedges. The right and wrong sides are almost identical, so it's easy to throw on without worrying about which side is facing out.
