Stephanie Earp Collection | Fall 2021

This crescent shawl features a dip stitch and inlay pattern in the center. Much longer than it is deep, this shawl looks great styled as a kerchief, with the decorative panel and tassel front and centre.

The central panel is simple to do, but may take a bit of practice to become second nature. Take the time to read the pattern through before beginning and make sure you understand that section. Or better yet, try it out in your swatch and get it down before you start in on the real thing.

The Raya Mitts use the same inlay and dip stitch panel as the Raya Shawl, but here it is worked in the round. It’s just as simple to do, and the decorative motifs add a pop to these simple but very practical mittens.
