Shawls : 25 Knitting Patterns and Tales from Around the World
by Cheryl Oberle
Shawls are currently making a huge comeback in the fashion world, but
many people do not realize that the shawl has been worn for many centuries
and in many cultures. This collection of patterns and traditions features
shawls from around the world. From the Himalayas to Spain, from Iceland
to Japan, and from Mexico to Norway, many of the shawls featured here have
been taken from examples of historic knitted shawls. Other designs have
been translated into knitwear from patterns for woven or lace shawls. Included
are 25 patterns as well as historical and cultural information about shawls
that have been used for prayer and mourning, as bridal veils, and as christening
garments. Each design is presented with a full-page color photo, written
instructions, and charts. The Publisher
