Leveza
This pattern is published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.
Leveza is a large half pi shawl knitted from the top down. The body of the shawl is in full bobble stitch, a lacy fabric with tiny bobbles. The mohair yarn creates a textured and airy fabric – “leveza” is the Portuguese word for lightness and weightlessness. Paula Pereira was inspired by Beatriz Milhazes, a Brazilian contemporary artist, whose work is full of circular elements, mandalas and textures. The semi-circular shape represents a half of a mandala.
