The Daphne shawl is a half circle shawl with a generous wingspan for wrapping up or hanging dramatically across your shoulders. Named after my daughter and my favourite author, Daphne Du Maurier, this shawl is more simple than it seems, but still beautiful and unusual. The delicate picot edging adds additional interest if worked in a contrasting colour but it is optional.

This is also available as part of an exclusive kit on the linked website.

The pattern is written using US crochet terms throughout.
