Momijigari
Introducing Momijigari, a beautifully crafted long and lean shawlette designed specifically to highlight the exquisite qualities of Dream in Color's October 2011 Dream Club yarn offering. This yarn features a luxurious blend of 52% Mohair and 48% Merino in a soft 3-ply fingering weight, dyed in a vibrant palette that captures the essence of Autumn's arrival with all its rich, warm hues.
The extra-long, elegant shape of Momijigari makes it the perfect accessory to gracefully drape over your shoulders, keeping you cozy as the chill of the season sets in. It also doubles as a stylish scarf that you can snuggle around your neck while enjoying the unique outdoor activities that Fall has to offer, from pumpkin picking to brisk walks through parks.
This stunning shawl features a garter-stitch body that is knit sideways for a unique twist. After completing the body, you'll pick up yarn-over loops along the bottom edge of the triangle to create the gorgeous leaf-like lace section, which is then knit back and forth, adding texture and visual interest to your finished piece.
The name Momijigari draws inspiration from a cherished Japanese tradition of visiting beautiful scenic areas during Fall to revel in the stunning transformation of leaves into vivid shades of red, orange, and gold.
