Mountain Glow Shawl
LISTING IS FOR A KNITTING PATTERN, NOT A COMPLETED PRODUCT!
When I first saw these colors together, my mind was blown open with inspiration! This shawl has been a passion project of mine ever since the vision popped into my head. The checkerboard mosaic motif paired with the visual interest of the neutral background and high-contrast garter pops reminds me of the perfect, fog-kissed mornings I used to wake up to in Vermont, when the sun gently starts to peer over the horizon line and drenches the mountains in this stunning, warm glow. I’ll never forget how incredible it was to see everything transition softly from neutrals cloaked in deep blues all the way into deep, bright sunrise jewel tones. This shawl is the perfect weight to channel the energy of those mornings wherever you are in the world - a close-knit enough fabric to keep the cold out, the stunning sheen of Explorer Knits & Fibers Cashmere DK for the perfect balance of luster and drape, and to top it all off, the SOFTEST touch I have ever had the pleasure to wear!
