This is a most lovely wrap by MarinJaKnits, and this kit allows you to knit her Bridge to Bliss using the same yarns and colorways as one of her original pices.
*****
The pattern should be gotten directly from the designer. You can find it on her Ravelry page here . We have brought together two of the yarns she used in her exact colorways.

The Design
The simplest description I saw written by Marin about this was: "Fun short row exploration. Knit in summer yarns (cotton / cotton blends)... "
And a bit more:
This shawl started as a tribute to Nashville and the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. It was inspired by Melissa Leapman and created to be launched at her Knitopia Nashville 2023 event. Well, as all things in life happen, it morphed into the design presented here. Carrying along some of the themes and ideas I gleaned from studying the beautiful bridge. And inspirations that sparked me as I began working. Created in plant fiber blends, this design would also work nicely in any yarn.
The Yarn and Colorways
We are duplicating exactly Marin's Version A and each kit will include two skeins of each of the yarns as described below, both from Queensland Yarns:
