The Russian winter

This is the one of the  most used free shawl patterns on Ravelry.

Originally it is from Lion Brand LB Collection OnlinePatterns -South Bay Shawlette. And I had to make it.

I know, I don't need more shawls and hats, but I couldn't resist.

This is so simple and easy project. I finished it in one day.

The pattern is written for advanced intermediate skill level but I think that advanced beginner can manage it. Quick and simple.

If you use mohair yarn as I did, the shawlette will be so soft and light, like a snowflake.

Size: 60cm x113cm

Yarn: 1 skein = 546.0 yards (499.3m)

(75% Acrylic10% Mohair10% Wool5% Metallic)

Hook size: 4mm

I added silver glass beads at the border. 

The first association when I finished it was Russian winter. :)

I am a big fan of Russian composers and writers, but that is the other story.

So, I will leave you now with this waltz. Enjoy!
