Step into the rhythm of Fleetwood, a shawl that brings both beauty and mindfulness to each stitch. Knit from tip to tip, Fleetwood unfolds with graceful asymmetry, blending an elegant slip stitch pattern, soft garter ridges, and intricate Latvian braids that weave in a touch of timeless tradition.

The i-cord edge lends a polished finish, while the gradual increases and decreases shape the shawl with effortless flow. Choose your favorite Sport or DK weight yarn, and let Fleetwood carry you through a mindful journey—where every row keeps you engaged and every detail invites you to savor the experience.
