Marilla's Shawl
This beautiful bottom-up shawl pattern is perfect for those who appreciate practicality, much like Marilla Cuthbert from Anne of Green Gables. Designed with versatility in mind, this shawl can be crafted using any weight of yarn, making it adaptable to your personal preferences and the specific yarn you have on hand. I chose a luxurious wool lace-weight yarn to evoke the image of Marilla’s classic black lace shawl, adding an air of timeless elegance to your knitting collection.
The shawl begins with just a few stitches and gradually grows in size through simple yet engaging techniques until you reach the final cast-off. Whether you are a beginner looking to expand your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a charming project, this pattern provides endless opportunities for creativity.
