This shawl was designed in collaboration with Amanda from Little Likac Yarn. I was designing a fairy shawl that needed a beautiful soft colourway, and she was dyeing for a Midsummer Night’s Dream themed yarn collection. The two came together and resulted in this beautiful lace shawl in her Titania colourway.
In keeping with these themes, the shawl is called Peaseblossom, after one of Titania’s fairy attendants, and reflects the soft dancing of light and wispy fairies amongst the summer flowers of the forest.
This pattern has been test knit and professionally tech edited.
