Jean Moss’ new book, Sweet Shawlettes, might just be the one treat you should allow yourself, even if you are on a yarn diet. 

The book has 25 projects to choose from, many of which use a few balls of different colour yarns, making them a great quick knitting fix too!

The Harlequin Cape on the cover requires just 2 balls of Rowan Colourscape Chunky, while the stunning Mantilla Shawlette takes 3 balls of perennial favourite Kidsilk Haze.

At The Knitter we’ve fallen head over heels for the Ceilidh tartan inspired design (pictured below) – look out for it in the magazine very soon.

Jean has been producing her own collections for more than 20 years and has designed for international fashion houses such as Ralph Lauren, Laura Ashley and Bennetton.

You can find out more about Jean Moss by visiting her website. Jean also writes and designs regularly for The Knitter magazine.

For a chance to win a copy of this great book, leave a comment below telling us which design you’d like to knit first. You can see all of Jean’s original garments for the book by heading on over to Jean's project gallery.

The winner will be drawn at random. UK entries only please. 

Sweet Shawlettes is published by Taunton Press, and is available in the US now and will be released in the UK on March 1, 2012.
