Hawthorne is inspired by the beauty of autumn woods where brilliantly colored leaves and berries compete for attention of every passerby.

This versatile shawlette is really a cross between a scarf and a shawl and as such, it can be worn in many different ways (CHART ONLY).

It is knitted in one piece starting with the cast on at the bottom edge followed by easy short rows (no wraps), which give the shawl a unique and elegant form of a narrow crescent.
