​Marguerite Shawl Pattern by

In Newfoundland and Labrador, storytelling is a way of life – from the songs we sing to the jokes we
tell, even the conversations we have around the dinner table at the end of the day. And as knitters,
those stories get woven into every piece we create and wear (or pass on to someone else).
“Marguerite” is a DK weight shawl inspired by the historical
figure of the same name, who, in 1542, was abandoned on the
Île des Démons (now known as Quirpon, an island off the coast
of the Northern Peninsula) while en route to Quebec. The shawl
features a mixture of garter and lace designs, symbolic of the
strength and femininity Marguerite represents. The pattern
includes both charted and written instructions, with an easy-to-
remember lace repeat throughout.
