Inspired by the beautiful blue waters of the Aegean sea, the central lace pattern of the scarf ripples to each end where the design is closed by tall, elaborate, wrought iron gates like those fronting many old houses along the Mediterranean coast.

This shawl is made up of a very easy, 4-row repeating lace pattern with some casting on and binding off to create the steps.

This pattern is an adaptation of Susie Roger’s Reading Mitts, available free on Ravelry, under the designer, Susie Rogers.

Mr and Mrs Morning are a lovely couple to greet you at breakfast and make you smile as they keep your boiled eggs warm.
