<\/a><\/p>\nMargrit is a Pi-Shawl featuring four different lace patterns and a beautiful border. It is named after my mother in law. She\u2019s living with my husband and me because she has Alzheimer\u2019s and from the first tiny sections of this shawl she always told me how beautiful she thinks it is.
The pattern has been tech-edited by Cupani and test knit by AshwiniJ, Robebe, nicemrsharris, puffycats, FiaKnit and bjlatham.<\/p>\n
