Having a great easy-to-wear shawl is essential to me. Something I don’t have to fuss over, that suits me and keeps me warm – both indoors and outside. It’s my everyday go-to shawl.

The Ferry Lights Shawl is a tribute to my hometown of Nyborg – an old Danish harbor town that used to be busy with ferries and travellers passing through. I designed the eyelet pattern to look like the string lights on the retired ferry, Broen (The Bridge), that is now proudly anchored in a special place in our harbor, reminding us of simpler times.

I’m really pleased with the fun construction of this shawl and I hope you’ll thoroughly enjoy knitting and wearing it.

The Ferry Lights Shawl has a special and simple construction that lends itself perfectly for customization. Make it as big and colorful as you like!
