Craghill Shawl

$7.00

We love snuggly, soothing garter stitch in a shawl. Craghill is a squishy, lightweight shawl for year round wear. A super fun, addictive slip stitch pattern is the main event in the Craghill Shawl. Little cubes appear like tiny pillows on a wide swathe of thin stripes that shrink and swell. Borders and bands of garter stitch add structure and graphic control to this exuberant three-color fabric. Two row stripes contribute and element of order too.

The shawl is constructed from the top down starting from the center back and features eyelet punchwork, garter stripes, and tile-like motif on the main body.
