This pattern was designed to be a simple knit that can easily be customised with what you feel like knitting as you go! Gauge is not as important with this knit, so long as you are creating a fabric that you feel has a beautiful drape.

I created this shawl for my Mum — I wanted something that could be made to feel like a warm hug when you aren’t close by to someone you care about, and adding the snuggly soft Alpaca in places adds a caring touch. Each stitch is made with thoughtfulness and they can be reminded of you each time you wear it.
