Hello friends! In a few days, we’ll be saying goodbye to 2020, which was a roller-coaster of a year. For me, it pushed my work towards limitless horizons. In addition to designing, I went back to my old posts and reviewed them, in response to many of you who pointed out mistakes, or gave suggestions to improve the quality of the instructions, so thank you all so much.

For this shawl I used the mosaic pattern, which I first saw on Pinterest a couple of years ago. I really liked it and worked hard to learn how to knit it. You can see my previous pieces like Candy Cane Beanie, Parachutes Cowl and Christmas Lights Hat and observe my journey to decipher and tame this technique to make my own unique patterns. As for the yarn, I had an old scarf I’ve made for Christmas that badly needed an update, and when I gave it a second glance I decided that there was no saving it, so I undid it and used the yarn to make this shawl. As you can see in the images, this piece features three types of snowflakes falling over a row of Christmas trees. I tried many versions of this shawl until I was satisfied, and I really like this final result, it’s very beautiful and you just want to follow the snow with your eyes as it falls down. I hope you give it a try and make it for yourself or your loved ones.

Let us look forward to the new year and try harder to make it better. May your wishes be achieved in the best way. With my last post for 2020, I wish you all a healthy and safe 2021. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
