This shawl was created as the official pattern of the 2016 Hudson Valley Yarn Shop Cruise, an event held annually to promote fiber art during the summer months. Please see the KAL, starting June 18, for this project in the following group.

Hudson Valley Yarn Shop Cruise

A River Runs Through It is a fun-to-knit shawl that was inspired by the beautiful Hudson Valley, New York. It is a basic crescent shawl, done in garter stitch, with fun short row sections thrown in to create shape within the color stripes that represent the sun, sky, mountains, rich earth, and, of course, the majestic Hudson River. The river is done in a version of feather and fan lace to create waves and add softness to the garter ridges.
