Cottage Rose Shawl inspiration came from memories of family gatherings on Cape Cod ~ walks along the shore, past cottage lawns adorned with fragrant pink roses, bordered with beach rock walls, and bike trails. Whenever I travel and spot roses, rock walls, or bike trails, I think of spirited adventures and hope you have fun exploring them too with this asymmetric boomerang shawl pattern.
