While devouring season four of Outlander, I found much inspiration in the thick, rustic garter handknits featured throughout. Sassenach’s Shawl adds a whimsical twist to Claire Fraser’s shawl with bands of eyelets echoing the stripes of colour and a softer, more romantic take on the shaping. While still rustic and cosy, Sassenach’s Shawl gives a little extra flair, making this quick knit fun to make and a delight to wear. Designed with Faroese shaping in mind; Sassenach’s Shawl can be worn traditionally over the shoulders and tied at the back or wear it kerchief style with the centre of the shawl in front and ends taken behind the neck to the front and left to dangle or loosely tied.
