Behind Blue Eyes

#BehindBlueEyesShawl

Introducing the stunning #BehindBlueEyesShawl, a heartfelt homage to the mesmerizing colors found in your loved one's eyes. Each time I gaze into my son’s sparkling eyes, I notice a beautiful array of shades, ranging from soft greys to vibrant light and dark blues. This shawl captures the essence of those colors, making it a perfect keepsake or gift. The gorgeous beads worked into the border represent the twinkle that lights up his eyes, adding an extra layer of charm to this unique piece.

When selecting colors for your shawl, feel free to draw inspiration from your own eye colors or those of your favorite person to create a deeply personal masterpiece. The #BehindBlueEyesShawl is crafted from the long edge, allowing for a beautiful flow as it extends outward. With an impressive total of 396 beads incorporated into the border, the shawl not only shines but also includes a comprehensive picture-by-picture tutorial within the pattern to guide you through the beading process. Of course, if you prefer a simpler look, you can easily choose to omit the beads.
