Downton Abbey Dowager Shawl

If you're addicted to the show on PBS, you'll be just as obsessed with the Downton Abbey Dowager Shawl. Premier Yarns has come out with a whole line of yarn inspired by Downton Abbey. This crochet shawl is made from Downton Abbey Lady Sybil yarn, which is a lovely gray hue and is a fine weight yarn, and you just need an F crochet hook to work it up. We could see the prideful Dowager Countess wearing this crochet pattern or even Lady Sybil sporting it along with her revolutionary ideas. The shawl has a gorgeous design that only the v stitch can achieve so beautifully.
