One of my favorite under-rated Disney movies is The Sword in the Stone. In that movie is a song called “That’s What Makes the World Go Round” and is sung by Merlin to a young Arthur. The lace pattern in this shawl reminded me of some of the words in that song as you knit “to and fro, stop and go” while making a simply patterned piece. The repetitive patterns make for some amazingly meditative knitting that forces you to slow down and enjoy the knitting process.

Difficulty Level
This is an adventurous beginner level pattern due to the very simple open design. If you know how to make knit, k2tog, ssk, and yo stitches, this is the pattern for you.

This pattern was originally published as part of a fundraiser for the National Hemophilia Foundation. My son has severe hemophilia b and this organization has helped him through some very tough times in the past. Local chapters for NHF provide free educational resources for families and individuals who have all forms of bleeding disorders. They also provide financial support in the form of grants or direct donations so that members in the community can have access to the medications they need in order to control their bleeding disorder.

Since this pattern is now being offered for free, I would ask that if you enjoyed the pattern to please donate to your local NHF chapter on my behalf. Any donation is greatly appreciated by your local bleeding disorders community.
