Here is a beautiful design by Louise Robert, the Palmer House Shawl!

"I wrote this pattern in 2015 during our participation at the Stitches show in Chicago. This event was held at the Palmer House Hotel, where we were also staying.

I really liked the look and rich history of the Palmer House and since I designed this pattern there, that's what inspired the name of this pattern". - Louise Robert
