This shawl grew out of a desire for a warm, comfortable shawl that was wide enough to cross the body and tie in back, leaving the hands free to knit, work in the garden, and around the house.

This shawl grew out of a desire for a warm, comfortable shawl that was wide enough to cross the body and tie in back, leaving the hands free to knit, work in the garden, and around the house. The Van Dyke border is adapted from The Knitter's Companion series written by Mrs. Mee and Ms. Austin throughout the 1800s. I updated it to be knitted on and shaped with the shawl a pretty and practical edging. Using a warm single-ply yarn, the shawl is rustic and lovely the perfect balance of beauty and function.
