Little Tranquility Shawl

“Elizabeth - or Beth, as everyone called her - was a rosy, smooth-haired, bright-eyed girl of thirteen, with a shy manner, a timid voice, and a peaceful expression, which was seldom disturbed. Her father called her ‘Little Tranquility’, and the name suited her excellently...” This charming quote from *Little Women* by Louisa May Alcott perfectly captures the spirit of the Little Tranquility Shawl.

The Little Tranquility Shawl, inspired by the serene qualities of its namesake, is a stunning triangular shawl designed to be both elegant and enjoyable to knit. This beautiful shawl is crafted using two complementary colors of fingering weight yarn, allowing for a personal touch that reflects your unique style. The pattern features alternating sections of smooth stocking stitch interspersed with three distinct stitch patterns that will keep your knitting journey interesting and engaging. A lovely central mock cable runs gracefully down the center, adding texture and sophistication to the overall design.

Gauge: 21 sts x 37 rows per 4 inches in stocking stitch using a 3.75 mm (US5) needle, blocked. While gauge is not vital for this pattern, achieving the recommended gauge will affect the amount of yarn required, so be sure to check before you begin.
