This product is a PDF download of the pattern for knitting a shawl. We do not sell the actual finished shawl.

"Octavia's Garlands" is Caroline Steinford's unique and customizable pattern for knitting a lace shawl. It is sold as a PDF download, so you can print the pattern directly from your computer. Caroline's inspiration for this design was her Triplett Celtic II harp! Each end of the shawl features a large Celtic harp and a staff of musical notes. The rest of the shawl is filled with a beautiful leaf motif. The finished size of the shawl is 17.5" x 71".

A fun aspect of this pattern is that it includes about 4 bars of music: 2 bars on each end of the shawl. You can choose from 7 song choices: Scales, Brahms' Lullaby, Danny Boy, Flower Duet from Lakmé, Ode to Joy, Road to Lisdoonvarna and the ever-popular Twinkle, Twinkle. In addition, Caroline also gives instructions on how to incorporate your own favorite song into the pattern!
