SPREAD the LOVE I’m feeling the winter doldrums and want to spread a little cheer and love. 50% off all my patterns!!

Karamagara is a garter stitch triangle knit with a geometric lace panel for focal interest.

The name comes from a town in Turkey where there is a bridge that is possibly the earliest known pointed arch bridge. The edging of this shawl evokes the points on the bridge.

With both charts and written instructions, knitters will be able to choose their most comfortable way to follow the pattern.
