Flj
Fljót translates to “river” in Icelandic, and when envisioning a river, one can’t help but picture water flowing, shifting, and changing direction. Similarly, life reflects this journey, constantly evolving through twists and turns from its source until it ultimately meets the vast ocean. This beautifully crafted shawl pattern, named Fljót, has been designed specifically to promote mindfulness and tranquility as you knit, allowing you to relax and savor the moments rather than stressing about life's unpredictable journey.
