Its intricate decorative surface was inspired in part by the ‘white room’ of The Blackwell – an Arts and Crafts house designed by M H Baillie Scott at the turn of the nineteenth century and located here in the Lake District overlooking Lake Coniston. The white room features glorious architectural details such as clusters of flower buds closely resembling the Lily of the Valley patterning used in \u003cstrong\u003eBaillie\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour sizes are included in the pattern with everything for the perfect Edwardian outfit from an expansive wedding style shawl to a neat cravat-esque necktie achievable from this single pattern.

The smaller needles are then used for the rest of the shawl, commencing with a simple border and transition section, and then the main lily of the valley lace pattern.
