Red poppies have always appealed to me! In the month of May the fields of southern Sweden will be covered by yellow colza-flowers Their color is so strong - you believe that nothing can be stronger until you see a red poppy having found its way to compete with all the yellow. It is like magic: one single flower has the strength to glow so much:))
I wanted my shawl to glow as well:))
Worked in Malabrigo Lace - in the color called “Ravelry Red” it makes my day glow! Light as a breeze it is easily draped around the neck and shoulders to give warmth and colorful beauty.

Sizes and shape The pattern gives 2 sizes: wingspan 48/59” (120/150cm). Height at spine 21/26” (54/66cm). These are the measurements when working to exact gauge. You could modify the size by working to another gauge. The shape of the shawl is triangular.

Wool I used Malabrigo Lace and needed exactly 1 skein for making the small shawl. You will need approximately 470/670yards (430/612m) of lace-weight yarn to work the shawl. If working in fingering weight you will need approximately 100/150yards (92/140m) more wool.

Needles and notions
The sample is made using a circular needle 32”/80cm, size US3/3.25mm. Choose needles to obtain gauge!

Gauge 4 x 4” (10 x10cm) in st st = 28sts and 34rows
