PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE UPDATED THIS PATTERN AS OF 6/27/20 TO ADJUST SOME OF THE EYELET ROWS. MAKE SURE YOU ARE WORKING FROM THE MOST RECENT REVISION. THANKS!!

Love More Hate Less is an elongated triangle-shaped shawl with eyelet lace and i-cord tassels with optional beading. Because beads and love make everything better.

I am not fond of the animus which is permeating the political climate at present. This hostility is filtering down to social media and other interactions, which I find upsetting, frightening and divisive. I was casting about for which words to use for the introduction of this pattern when I happened upon Megan Rapinoe’s speech celebrating the USA Women’s Soccer Team Victory at the 2019 World Cup. She said so eloquently “We need to do better…we need to love more and hate less.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. This one is for you, Megan, and all the badawomen who love this country. This pattern has been test knit and tech edited. Thanks to GamerBabeKnitter and NayNayKnitter.
