Eckert Street Shawls Collection PDF Pattern
Eckert Street Shawls is a collection of four shawls using the same stitch patterns to create a squishy shawl to wrap up in. Choose the style that suits you best - a shawlette, oversize triangular shawl, asymetrical shawl or a rectangular wrap.
Enjoy some soothing garter combined with sections of eyelets and brioche while knitting the shape you love the best.
Eckert Street is in a neighborhood in my town where a number of friends live. It’s a street where families congregate in each others yards or on the sidewalk as the young kiddos cruise the block on their bikes or chase each other into exhaustion. It’s where the adults can have a beverage of their choice and share stories from their day and week. A place where many laughs are shared, along with a few tears every once in awhile.
