This lovely DK pattern was designed for my best friend as a wedding gift. I wanted to create something that was simple, classic, elegant, and cozy. Originally knit in my friend’s wedding colors, this shawl works up beautifully in any combo of 3 DK skeins, though the instructions give you some further guidance on how to pair colors that compliment and contrast in the same way as the original. The construction is a top-down shawl with three spines, creating an accessory that drapes easily over the shoulders and torso.
The pattern is named “Mon Chéri”, which is French for “My Dear”, and I hope it inspires you to create a shawl you love, for yourself or a dear one. This shawl was a token of friendship, lifelong love, and affection. I hope you feel all those sweet things as you knit it.
