Designed for knitters who enjoy a relaxing rhythm with a touch of visual interest, this shawl combines simple stitches into a flowing, elegant shape that’s both engaging to knit and easy to wear.

When I found the “Friendship” stitch pattern by Naomi Parkhurst, I knew I had found the perfect way to honor the many special friends I have found over the last few years through my nomadic lifestyle, connecting with other designers and especially finding kindred spirits on social media.

Designed for a peaceful, mindful knitting experience, this pattern is for you, my friends.

A very special thank you to The Violet Valentine for offering me your gorgeous yarn to design with and thank you for your love and support.
