Cumberland is an asymmetrical triangle shawl, knitted sideways, combining garter stitch stripes and an easy to memorize lace pattern. Worked at a loose gauge to create a nice drape, Cumberland is a perfect all-weather shawl. And for those knit stitch lovers, there’s not a single purl stitch in the whole shawl!

Cumberland is knit with Delly’s Delights O So Soft yarn. 100% Alpaca and soft as it’s name! Delly’s Delights is a farm and yarn dying operation in Louisa, Virginia. Cumberland is named for the Cumberland Mountain Range - a mountain range in the Appalachian Mountains a few hours south of Louisa.
