Friendship is a traditional top-down leafy shawl with unique lacework and a big swath of garter at the end. Friendship is by far the most important of values for me. If you’re feeling like you are lonely or if you feel like you don’t have many friends, know that you can absolutely 100-percent knit yourself some friendship. I know you can because I wrote the pattern. It totally works.
