Longfellow

Introducing the Longfellow shawl, a stunning crescent-shaped accessory designed to elevate your knitting collection. This beautiful shawl is crafted using just one skein of Verdant Gryphon Mithril, specifically in the exquisite La Cantante colorway. The Longfellow shawl begins with a series of stockinette short-rows that seamlessly transition into a delicate and elegant lace pattern, making it a perfect project for intermediate to advanced knitters seeking a rewarding challenge.

For this design, the larger needles are utilized exclusively for the cast-on, providing a methodical start, while a crochet hook is recommended for a refined bind-off, and can also be utilized for creating optional star stitches that add a whimsical touch to the final piece.

The Mithril yarn is a true delight to work with, renowned for its luxurious feel and vibrant colors. It features a delightful "cinnamon-flecked pumpkin" hue that truly stands out. However, it's important to note that Mithril is a seasonal yarn, so if you have your heart set on this specific colorway, don't wait! Head over to the Verdant Gryphon website to grab some before it’s gone!
