Pyrenees Shawl

When I first discovered the captivating Pyrenees stitch pattern, I was instantly drawn to its bold diamonds, beautifully nested one within another. This striking design inspired me to create a unique shawl, though I initially struggled to visualize the other details that would bring the piece to life. Over time, as the design continued to develop in my mind, everything came together perfectly upon finding a whimsical edging that complemented the stitch pattern. The softness and elegance of the edging beckoned for a luxurious fiber choice, and that’s when I knew I had found the ideal match with the exquisite skeins of Sericin Silkworks ‘50/50 Buffalo Silk’ that had been waiting patiently in my stash.

Yarn: You will need approximately 880 (1,300) yards/804 (1,189) meters of lace weight or light fingering yarn to complete this stunning shawl.
