Customer Review
"This is perhaps my favorite of the many Stolen Stitches patterns I’ve made. The shawl is so interesting to knit, utilizing garter, brioche, and Gansey stitches. The size of the shawl and in particular the knitted on edging make it a welcome addition to anyone’s collection. I really recommend this pattern."
