Both, perhaps. My great-grandma knit a doll-sized version of this shawl for my mom’s wartime doll. It inspired this woman’s garment: a shawl made of garter stitch with cupped shoulders—it clings to your curves. It is a vest with semi-hidden buttons and a shawl profile. Above all, it keeps your shoulders warm and won’t blow about with every whim. It sticks with you in all kinds of weather -- kind of like a good friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pattern originally appeared as an incentive pattern for fans of [\u003cem\u003eWhat (else) Would Madame Defarge Knit?\u003c\/em\u003e][2] [Girl-][3] and [doll-sized][4] versions of this pattern appear in that book. This shawl utilizes garter stitch, yarn-over increases and simple decreases to hug your back and criss-cross your front, making for a lovely wrap-around fit! Shoulder straps attach at the opposite waist using 6 buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnitter may choose a worsted weight yarn like Cascade 220 or Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LoveCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56747823169914,"sku":"UPID28778","price":6.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/c067155eb75e749b8285ad6cb58d8633a96f03d1_UPID28778_172838381739959.jpg?v=1775886526","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-us\/products\/comfort-of-a-friend-woman-shawl-knitting-pattern-by-laura-ricketts-designs","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
