K855-Novato Shawl

Introducing the stunning Novato Shawl, intricately inspired by my hometown of Novato, located in the picturesque Northern California. This beautiful shawl is expertly crafted from the center back neck, gracefully extending down to the edge, capturing the essence of our area's rich and diverse natural beauty. Each section features distinct patterns that represent the mesmerizing landscapes around Novato. The elegant lace pattern at the neck symbolizes the lush grassy fields, seamlessly transitioning into a smooth stockinette stitch that evokes the serene flow of Novato Creek. Further down, the trellis-framed leaves pattern reflects the various majestic native trees, including the iconic Redwood and sturdy Oak. Finally, the shawl's charming edging beautifully mirrors the rolling hillsides, which transform in color with each changing season, making it a perfect representation of our enchanting environment.
