ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Splitz Shaw is the third shawl of the It’s all relative collection, inspired by my aunt Cecilia, the other knitter in the family. Because she has the brightest green eyes and the sweetest personality, its final shape had to be as big and comforting as her hug.

Worked top-down, this crescent shawl balance lace and garter stitch, colours and stripes, in a fast and easily memorizable knit, perfect to relax after a long day.
