Scarf – Icelandic
Many marriage traditions have been reflected in hand crafted items. This fine knitted shawl was made to be part of a wedding outfit. The belief is that the shawl should be knitted finely enough to be able to pass through the wedding band, representing the lightness of any future worries. Such a shawl was often given to the first child of the marriage to be used as a blanket.
