Reyes de España Shawl

Welcome to the second installment of our enchanting adventure shawl series, specially crafted for my best friend Monika to commemorate our unforgettable travels together. Introducing the **Reyes de España Shawl**, a stunning piece inspired by our incredible journey through the sun-kissed landscape of southern Spain, accompanied by three close friends. During our trip, we indulged like royalty, savoring delicious Jamón and Manchego cheese daily, while toasting with refreshing sangria each night as we admired the twinkling stars above the picturesque olive orchard.

This exquisite shawl features a unique construction that artfully combines elements of both a circular shawl and a triangular shawl. The central circular panel beautifully represents the intricate geometric tiles of the iconic Alhambra, capturing the essence of our travels. Surrounding this central feature is an outer lace pattern that echoes the vibrant skirts of flamenco dancers we encountered on the lively streets of Sevilla during the famous Feria celebration. While you may not have accompanied us on this adventure, you can still embrace the spirit of Spain with this gorgeous Spanish-inspired adventure shawl.

For those looking to create the **FINGERING Full-sized Shawl**, gather approximately **924 yards** of your favorite fingering weight yarn and use **5mm/US 8** needles (both **40cm** and **80cm** circular, along with DPNs). If you're interested in crafting a charming **LACE Shawlette** (measuring **117cm across x 81cm**), you will need around **880 yards** of lace weight yarn, utilizing **4mm/US 6** needles (again, with both **40cm** and **80cm** circular needles and DPNs). Dive into this captivating shawl project and let the **Reyes de España Shawl** inspire your creativity while evoking the memories of our Spanish escapade. Enjoy knitting this beautiful piece of art that weaves together tradition, culture, and cherished friendship!
