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
