Long shadows

This unique shawl was inspired and created under the stunning arcades of the Heilandskirche (Church of the Redeemer) in Sacrow, on one of the most breathtaking autumn days I’ve ever experienced.

The pattern features an elegant brioche stitch combined with stockinette and reverse stockinette, separated by beautifully designed divider rows. This thoughtful combination not only enhances visual appeal but also facilitates lovely predetermined fold lines, allowing the shawl to gently kink in certain areas. The result? A delightful drape that seems to work its magic effortlessly, making each piece a perfect accessory for any occasion.
