I wanted to clean up the lines of this shawl specifically for the person I’m making it for. Being a person of small stature, Rosemary gets cold easily and I didn’t want her to have to worry about tying the shawl in the back or add bulk to her waist. She’ll be wearing it most often with her fairy costuming and her husband (dressed as the Green Knight) has adopted a griffin as his sigil. I found some buttons on Etsy that are a perfect fit!
