Corfe Castle

From Dorset with Love ... a delightful knitting pattern collection that celebrates adventure, friendship, warmth, and the soothing art of knitting—stitch by stitch, row by row.

After a long, invigorating walk along the windswept coast of Dorset, we meandered towards Corfe, a charming village renowned for its “chocolate box cottages” and the historic Corfe Castle. As I settled into a cosy chair tucked away in the corner of a quaint café, I took a moment to reflect on the beauty of the day. The gentle light streaming through the nearby window glistened and danced across the picturesque landscape, warming everything it touched. Much like that comforting glow, the eyelet patterns in this beautifully crafted shawl skip gracefully across your shoulders, while the plush garter stitch envelops you in soft warmth, hugging your form and soothing your soul.

This shawl is not just a knitting project; it’s a relaxing yet engaging experience, making it the perfect choice for those moments when you simply need to breathe into your knitting. Each stitch provides a calming and mindful activity, allowing you to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
