This shawl is inspired by Ayane, the main character in the fairy fantasy book Ayane und das Geheimnis der Glückselfen by Ann-Cathrin May (my daughter). There will be more books in the Glückselfen Saga.
The faeroese style shape assures that the shawl lies on the shoulders safely and will not slip down.
The shawl can be adjusted to any size, either by knitting one or more rows of large butterflies or by increasing or decreasing the number of rows of blossoms above the lace edging. The lace edging itself can also be modified.
So you can choose to make it just the way you’d like it or until you run out of your chosen yarn.

This pattern contains charts as well as a written pattern of the charts for every single row.
