My sister moved to Canada in March 2020. She and her wife had been planning the move for over a year and expected it to be a difficult transition, but no one expected what happened. I wanted to send an extra special gift so that she would know how much she is loved, even if we do have to express our love over a long distance at the moment.

While this shawl is quite lightweight, the mohair means it will also be very warm, providing a hug from afar. The center is a simple lace pattern with rest rows; the border is worked with lace on both right and wrong side rows to add the perfect finishing touch.

The center of the shawl is worked first, then stitches are picked up around the four sides and the edging is knit on. The pattern is both fully written and fully charted.
