Description
The town of Whitehorn, Colorado, was founded in the mid- to late 1890s during the height of the gold rush. The Whitehorn Shawl’s woven basket–inspired slip-stitch motifs, traditional Latvian braids, and earthy colors are a tribute to the old West. This shawl is worked from the center top down and shaped with increases to create the ample wingspan.
