Mil Pasos means Thousands Steps in Spanish, steps you make every single day of your life, which often pull you towards your goals, sometimes push you even further, steps, without which you wouldn’t be who you are.
Mil Pasos is a shawl knitted from top – down, finished with a lace frill in a contrasting color. Big contrast and variegated yarn in a stunning shade is all you need to create an unique wrap with flattering shape and exquisite fabric you will wear with pleasure.
