This is a lace shawl designed especially for Mosaic Moon, fingering weight yarn (colourway + 2 trim yarns).
The design is inspired by the Eurasian Eagle-Owl and the silhouette of the Moon (which is also a key element in the Mosaic Moon logo).
The pattern contains instructions for a medium size shawl as well as a large size shawl (you know me… I love big shawls) and the instructions for the lace sections will be available as both charted and written instructions.
