This is a checklist pattern, each row is written out for easier tracking – however, this makes the pattern significantly longer – check to see the pages you want to print before starting.

My mother-in-law, Mae Eichelberger, was a talkative woman, who had a story for everything. A bit like me I suppose. She spent her retirement years volunteering as a “grandma” for younger elementary students. Monitoring the school cafeteria to open milk cartons, working with children who struggled to read, helping with worksheets, and listening to each little story students might have to tell. And she liked pink, with her soft white curls and rosy blushed cheeks it was a color that made her happy and suited her well. This shawl was designed in her memory. She could knit a little and would have loved the simplicity of this design because she would have been able “to manage it.”

PATTERN NOTES: This shawl is worked in one piece, flat, from end to end and includes textured and cable stitches that might resemble carvings. If using indie-dyed yarn you may wish to alternate skeins every RS row to avoid skein-to-skein dye issues.

NOTIONS: Stitch markers, Tapestry needle.
