Mazamorra Morada

Mazamorra Morada is the fifth shawl in the It’s All Relative collection, a tribute to the rich heritage and culture of Peru. This stunning pattern is inspired by my beloved Peruvian grandmother, an extraordinary woman who has dedicated over 50 years to practicing medicine while also raising a family after experiencing the profound loss of her husband at a young age. Mazamorra Morada is not just a shawl; it embodies the warmth and love of family traditions, much like the traditional Peruvian dessert it’s named after. Known for its beautiful deep purple hue, Mazamorra Morada is a delightful dessert made from purple corn, combined with fresh fruits and fragrant spices like cinnamon and clove. Some of my fondest childhood memories are wrapped in the comforting aroma and taste of this delightful dish, especially during our cherished Sunday lunches at her home.

This intricate knitting pattern requires only one skein of high-quality fingering weight yarn, making it an accessible project for knitters of all levels. The shawl is designed to be worked from the top down, featuring a beautiful array of lace stitches that provide both visual interest and a delicate feel. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, this pattern includes all necessary instructions that are thoughtfully presented both in written format and as charts for your convenience.
