Take your vitamins

The Take Your Vitamins Shawl is a stunning addition to the It’s All Relative collection, and it stands as a heartfelt tribute inspired by my mother, Helena. Renowned for her compassion, she has dedicated her life to enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of those around her as a psychologist specialized in family therapy. My mother’s ability to listen without judgment makes her an incredible confidant and a beacon of support for many. Designing this shawl was a deeply personal journey for me; capturing my gratitude and love for her in a knitted piece proved to be both challenging and rewarding.

This beautifully crafted shawl is worked from the top down, combining garter stitch and delicate eyelets to create a mesmerizing crescent shape. The design features a unique sideways-stitched edge, adding a sophisticated finish that showcases your knitting skills. Whether you’re wearing it for a casual outing or a special occasion, the Take Your Vitamins Shawl will surely make a statement.
