Mrs. Gaskell Wrap Knitting Pattern

Product description

Mrs. Gaskell is an elegant wrap which combines garter stitch, lace and mosaic patterns.

'She has all the beautiful Indian shawls and scarfs the General gave to me, but which I shall never wear again.' […] So Margaret went down laden with shawls, and snuffing up their spicy Eastern smell. Her aunt asked her to stand as a sort of lay figure on which to display them […].No one thought about it; but Margaret's tall, finely made figure, in the black silk dress […], set off the long beautiful folds of the gorgeous shawls […]. She touched the shawls gently as they hung around her, and took a pleasure in their soft feel and their brilliant colours, and rather liked to be dressed in such splendour.
Gaskell, Elizabeth Cleghorn. North and South
