The Anacortes Shawl was inspired by the Anacortes Pullover, which features a deceptively simple 2x2 broken rib pattern that is divided by a simple 1x1 half-twisted rib to break up the lines and add visual interest. With the fuzzy halo of brushed suri, this shawl is light, bouncy, and delightfully cozy wrapped around your neck on a chilly winter afternoon.

This shawl pattern is quite easy to memorize, as you will repeat the same broken rib pattern throughout to create the all-over texture. The Anacortes Shawl has an i-cord edging, giving it a clean aesthetic and just enough structure to balance the lightweight nature of the suri.
