Dark lime is the name of this attractive shade of Rowan Softknit Cotton, a deliciously soft cotton ideal for a summery shawl to be worn over a dress in the cooler evenings. An easy lace pattern shows off the cable structure of this lovely yarn with garter stitch edges all around. The shawl is rectangular and I added 8 beautiful two toned colored mother of pearl buttons from Perlehuset, 4 on each end on opposite sides and used the holes in the pattern to make it into a shrug. A large cowl was essential and why not add a small one too? All parts are knitted back and forth in rows using 4.5 mm/US 7, the samples by test knitter Airin Hansen, aka Teodor on Ravelry. The Norwegian pattern will be published in late August in Familiens Strikkebok, a separate issue, while the English pattern will come on Ravelry. I am delighted that it has been professionally photographed on dancer Francesca Golfetto by Kim Müller and I will show you the photos shortly.
Beautiful summer design Linda.
Thank you so much, Janie!
So fashionable! My friends would call this shade Tracy Green, as it is my favorite! Your design is just lovely!
I am delighted that you think so, Tracy! You have your own shade of green, how marvelous! Thank you!
