This versatile project was inspired by the many covered bridges found around New England. The interior beams and eyelet windows were just screaming to be featured in a fun summer piece. This design can be worn as a shawl, cowl, or even a shrug depending on how you use — or don’t use — the buttons!

This pattern is designed to be modified to fit any size! Simply increase or decrease the multiples when indicated for a shorter or longer length finished piece. Take note of the finished measurements (after blocking) to ensure that you’ll get the right size for your body.
