Members of the Espace Tricot team have put together this collection to raise money for organizations doing crucial work in our communities. 100% of proceeds raised from the Crossroads Collection (individual patterns and e-book) will be split between La Ligue des Noirs du Québec (The Black Coalition of Quebec) and the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal until July 17th . While the e-book will only be available until July 17, patterns will be available as permanent individual downloads after that date.

This textured shawl or wrap tells the story of individuals who have had to overcome many obstacles and endured a few hardships in their lifetime.

There are two sizes available, a shawl and a large wrap. The 5 sections each represent different stages of life. As you work through this project, take the time to reflect on your life’s journey and adventures. At the end, wrap yourself in the warmth of the lines you’ve walked.

This project can also be a great stash buster. Included in the pattern is a yardage/meterage breakdown for each section.
