Eliza Scidmore's Shawl

Cherry Blossom Knit Pattern Inspired by Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore

Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore was an influential American writer, photographer, and geographer in the late 1800s and early 1900s, known for her passion for Japan and its stunning cherry blossoms. During her frequent visits to Japan, Eliza fell in love with the beautiful cherry trees, and her advocacy led to the enchanting Sakura trees being planted in Washington, D.C., with the support of First Lady Helen Taft. Thanks to Eliza's dedication, we now have the pleasure of enjoying these breathtaking blossoms every Spring.

This unique Cherry Blossom Knit Pattern pays homage to Eliza's legacy and the beauty of cherry blossoms. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern captures the essence of spring and adds a touch of elegance to your home decor.
