This stole or scarf beautifully symbolizes the serene beauty of snowfall. It begins with clear skies, gradually transitioning into a flurry of delicate snowflakes and the formation of the first icy icicles. Inspired by the captivating Germanic fairy tale “Frau Holle,” this design pays homage to the mythical figure responsible for the weather. Legend has it that when Frau Holle shakes her feathered bed, the feathers flutter down and transform into snowflakes, blanketing the earth in a pristine layer of white.

Additionally, this design is inspired by my dear friend Juliane, whose passion for lace knitting has been a constant source of motivation. Join us in celebrating the magic of knitting and the beauty of the winter season!
