Pena

This exquisite pattern is also part of the [My Heart Collection - Book 1:][1], an Eco-friendly e-book featuring a curated selection of five elegant patterns (Maria, Nimbo, Pena, Luz, and Flor) designed for the modern knitter who values sustainability.

Pena is a stunning triangular shawl that is expertly knitted from the middle back outwards to create a beautiful edging. The shawl’s main body showcases a combination of Stockinette stitch and a unique two-color Slip Stitch pattern, making it not only visually appealing but also fun to knit. To finish, a sophisticated lace stitch adorned with beads has been incorporated into the edging, resulting in an eye-catching contrast that highlights the intricate details of the varied stitches employed. This delightful shawl is perfect for both casual wear and special occasions, adding a touch of elegance to any outfit.
