Rivers and Winding Roads is a delicate, lightweight shawl / wrap, inspired by the juxtaposition of shapes and patterns in nature and our surroundings.

The idea behind the name, “Rivers and Winding Roads” is really about seeing the beauty that is all around us - whether it be in our own backyard or a destination away from home. Something new to discover around every bend in our life journey.

This perfect-for-Spring accessory features nature inspired lace motifs, incorporated with accents of eyelets and flowing garter stitch ridges.

Designed to be worn as a rectangular shawl to drape over your shoulders or delicately wrapped around you.

Samples shown knit in The Farmers Daughter Fibers “Moon Sisters” fingering weight yarn, which fashions subtle bronze stellina sparkle.

** Designed in celebration of Christine Chitnis’ new book “Patterns of India”**
