Javelin shawl is about strength and resilience. A sort of body armour, it was born during the most difficult time in the history of Ukraine and Europe.
Javelin is an old Celtic word, which means a light spear thrown in a competitive sport or used as a weapon. The textured ribbing used in this pattern does resemble little spears.
It is a crescent shaped shawl, that is knit top-down.
The pattern comes with row by row written instructions, as well as charts for each section.
