When she was a child, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s father called her “the Poet Laureate of Hope End.” Hope End was the name of their country home, and this shawl is its namesake. The Hope End shawl uses a simple ground of half-double crochet, followed by textured post stitches that create a look reminiscent of the bramble and woods that surround the estate. This shawl is a comforting, wearable everyday accessory to keep you warm and cozy.
