When you can’t be with your loved ones, knitting is a way to hold them close. Think of someone as you stitch and those memories will burst forth every time you pick up your project; later, the warmth of your friendship will enrich the warmth of your shawl.

The traditional stitches and construction of a hap shawl - a seed stitch square bordered with a feather and fan lace - create a family keepsake to treasure for generations. Choose just two colours for classic style, or paint an exuberant rainbow.
