Notes

This is the second shawl I designed and Im so happy it came out as I imagined.

I was captivated by the beauty of Versailles, then when I saw The Grand Trianon and the Gardens , I was amazed!!!

This shawl is a triangular shaped with a beautiful design perfect for the idea I had.

Is worked from the narrow point on the left edge increasing to the right edge, and then a garter stitch panel starts to emerge.

Once the body of the shawl is completed then you knit Pendant border .

And for the grand finale, a ruffle in mohair (don’t worry It wont touch your skein if you are allergic to mohair )

I love those little round bubbles and to make them yiu dont turn the work!!!

I hope you like it as much as I do.

You can see more pictures and versions of this shawl on IG with the hash tag #GrandTrianonShawl
