Gwen was a housekeeper in the first season of Downton Abbey. We all loved her spunk and desire to be more than a servant, or “in service” as she states. Her white apron worn over the black dress had scalloped edges, hence the scallops on this small shawlette, called a “shoulder scarf.”
It is knit from bottom up in one piece, using short rows to shape after the scalloped edge is complete. The design for the edge is both charted and written.
