Introducing the Te Mio Shawl - a heartfelt knitting pattern for a mesmerising shawl, inspired by the boundless love for my son, Artemio, and my late great-uncle by the same name.

Te Mio is not merely a knitting pattern; it’s a tribute to familial bonds and cherished memories. This shawl encapsulates the essence of enduring love and legacy - a reflection of the profound affection and connection shared between a mother and her beloved child.

This exquisite shawl boasts a captivating design adorned with delicate hearts, symbolising the overflowing love that inspired its creation. Each stitch whispers tales of devotion, echoing the cherished memories of my great-uncle honoured in the name.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Te Mio features a captivating lace pattern, meticulously designed with a 20-row repeat. Whether you prefer written instructions or a chart for guidance, this pattern includes both, ensuring a seamless knitting experience for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

Knitted with two strands of 2-ply (lace-weight) yarn held together, Te Mio unveils a mesmerising visual tapestry, evoking warmth and tenderness with every stitch. However, the versatility of this pattern extends beyond, inviting experimentation with 4-ply yarn for a personalised touch.

The name Te Mio holds profound significance, drawing from the affectionate nickname ‘Temio’ that my great-aunt bestowed upon her beloved husband. ‘Te’ is the Italian word for ‘You’ and ‘Mio’ is the Italian word for ‘My’. I always feel like I’m calling my sweet son ‘My You’ when I call him ‘Temio’ - similar to ‘You are mine’.

Knit this as a gift for yourself or a gift for your loved one to truly be wrapped in love.
