Maquette
Designed by Gudrun Johnston for Brooklyn Tweed, Maquette offers a modern approach to the traditional Shetland method of shawl construction. Designed for two gauges, light Peerie or buoyant Arbor, rounded edging breaks up the diamond motif that works its way across Maquette’s center. Brooklyn Tweed considers this pattern a level 2 out of 5 in difficulty and offers it as a hard copy only. For more information about materials, gauge, and size, click Product Details, above.
