New - now with line by line written instructions for previously charted only lace instructions.

You can still get the free version of the pattern from Knotions, but for those who prefer written instructions to charts, a written version is now available for purchase.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
Alice, Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 1 Looking-Glass House, Lewis Carroll.

In the winter, when the snow drifts against the fences, the nights are dark and the days are short, I wish I could, like Alice, step through the looking glass and find a warm and sunny world. But, as I can’t, it is the perfect time to settle down with a good book, a warm drink and a shawl to snuggle in.

This shawl starts from a 3 stitch garter tab and grows with soft cables and eyelets to a tiny lace border. Knit in a silk cashmere blend, if knitting were food, this would be the comfort food of the knitter’s diet.

You can make a larger or smaller shawl by adding or omitting pattern repeats. Number of repeats worked and knitters gauge will impact yarn use.
