Näckros

Näckros, which translates to "water lily" in Swedish, captures the essence of a serene water lily gracefully floating on a tranquil lake. This beautiful shawl pattern, inspired by nature, was lovingly designed with my dear friend Whitney in mind. My hope is that every stitch represents a warm hug sent from afar, providing comfort and beauty through knitting.
