Inspired by The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, this gentle crescent-shaped shawl is knit from the top center out to the edge. The body of the shawl is knit in a simple flower garden pattern reminiscent of the garden where the rabbit is left after the boy becomes sick. The teardrop scallops have a fairy-like magic to them as they slightly ruffle the edge of the shawl. Whether your shawl is knit in a worn velvet inspired color or not, this shawl will become a very real favorite!
