I started designing this pattern at the start of the COVID 19 pandemic. I finished it during the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests. Through it all this shawl represented a way for me to meditate on love while knitting and the finished project is the perfect size to wrap up in, like a huge hug or wrap it around your neck to feel the love all day.
This is a great two color triangular shawl with a fun heart lace pattern and easy feather and fan that comes in two options: a larger sport weight shawl or a slightly smaller fingering weight version.
51% of all profit from this design is donated to Together Rising, whose mission is to transform collective heartbreak into effective action by identifying what is breaking the hearts of donors as they look around their world and their community, and then connecting donors’ generosity with the people and organizations who are effectively addressing that critical need. They spread love everywhere and anywhere it’s needed.
