From Friday 06/10/2023 until Monday 09/10/2023 the pattern will be 15% Off.

This shawl is for my seven-year-old daughter, Ariadne. She chose the colors and I was inspired by the name of one of the yarns used, Qing Fibres – Flying Saucer. The shape of the shawl looks like a flying saucer and the shawl ends with a lace flying saucers repeat.
Originally the design was for my daughter but then I thought lets go twinning and I made the red version for myself.
