I designed this pattern in 2015 when Biscotte Yarns had a booth at the Stitches event in Chicago. The event took place at the Palmer House Hotel, where we were also staying. I really loved the look and rich history of the Palmer House, and since I designed this pattern there, that’s what inspired its name.

MATERIALS NEEDED
• Louise Robert MERINO WORSTED Collection 100% merino, 200m/100g: 3 skeins shown in the color Multivers (The original version was knit with Biscotte Yarns HAGRID, which is now discontinued)
• 7 mm circular needles (or the size needed to achieve the gauge)
• 4 stitch markers

GAUGE: 12 sts = 10 cm in garter stitch

FINISHED SIZE (width x height) = 160 cm x 40 cm

NOTES : This pattern is worked in garter stitch and finishes in ribbing, gradually increasing 4 stitches on every right-side row. The increases in the center of the shawl are arranged to form an angle that sets this design apart from traditional shawls.
