Description
The Tobermory shawl is named after an impossibly beautiful seaside town on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, where brightly painted buildings sparkle against the dark blue bay. Legend has it that a Spanish galleon laden with gold lies at the bottom of that bay, lost in the 16th Century and never recovered. The stripes of the crescent shaped Tobermory shawl hint at the promise of riches beneath the waves. Its easy lace and eyelets were planned to thoughtfully showcase two colors of the gorgeous Road to China Light: lustrous, subtly tonal, and always treasured. This crescent-shaped shawl is knit from the top down with increases made at the edges.
You can make your own version by purchasing the Tobermory Kit.
