Product Details

This crescent-shaped shawl is cast on at the lower hem, worked through the beaded lace border, and is shaped with gentle short rows to form a pleasing, wearable shape. It is knit with one skein of fingering weight yarn, and will require 400-425 yards to complete as written. The pattern is charted only, and gives instructions for adding optional size 6 seed beads to the border.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh is probably best known as the wife of famed pilot Charles Lindbergh, but she was a skilled aviatrix in her own right. A winner of the Hubbard award for 40,000 miles of exploratory flying with her husband, she also was the first woman to earn a glider-class pilot’s license. She survived the kidnapping (and murder) of her infant son, as well as the paparazzi fall-out from that, and was an accomplished author in her later years.

This pattern is also available as part of the Heroines Shawl Club 2015 collection available here on Ravelry.
