Product Details

In my daydreams, I get to travel all over the world and visit the times and places where beautiful knitting patterns were originally created. One of those places is a small town in Estonia known as Haapsalu. This seaside resort on the west coast has been known for centuries for its warm seawater and salt mud spas. Also known as the Venice of the Baltics, it is rumored to have been a favorite holiday location for the Russian Romanov family and home to the Haapsalu Shawl.

Square shawls knit in pieces, while beautiful, can be difficult to finish and wear. This ¾ square shawl solves both those problems! Knit from the top down, from a garter tab, using a repeating motif based on a traditional Estonian stitch, Nuppudega rombikiri (or Rhombus with Buttons) and finished with an edge that flows from the motif, this shawl is sure to have you daydreaming of sitting in the resort town of Haapsalu, too!

Includes charts and fully written line by line instructions.
