Until the end of May 2011 all proceeds from the sale of this pattern will be donated to the Red Cross who are administering funds for the people of Christchurch who are recovering from a devastating earthquake.

Christchurch, the Garden City is my hometown. I wanted to pay tribute to its beauty, and to raise funds for those who are struggling to rebuild their lives in this lovely southern city.

The Garden City Shawl is knit sideways. The simple lace repeat forms an elegant pointed edge when blocked. The shawl is shaped in a deep scoop which can be worn at the front or the back. A lovely, simple knit that will make the most of a single skein of luxurious yarn.

Buy a copy of the shawl pattern alone, or purchase the e-book. Those who purchase the e-book will receive a copy of the shawl and also a copy of the worsted weight scarf version.
