Lotus Shawl

The lotus flower holds significant cultural importance across many societies, celebrated not only for its beauty but also for its medicinal and nutritional properties. Remarkably, every part of the lotus is edible; the leaves can be brewed into a soothing tea, and its durable fibers are skillfully woven into versatile fabrics. Truly, the lotus is a grand botanical wonder, symbolizing purity and enlightenment.

Introducing the "Hana Matsuri" shawl, a stunning triangle-shaped shawl designed for knitters of all skill levels. This exquisite piece is crafted from the top down, featuring intricate Russian lace stitches that create a visually captivating pattern on both sides. The design cleverly incorporates elements from traditional Haapsalu shawls—though this pattern deliberately omits nupps for a smoother knit. The size of the shawl can be easily adjusted to fit your personal preferences and style, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
