Traces, Waves and Baubles Shoulder Shawl: African Sampler 2

This shoulder shawl (35x170cm) is the second in a series of 2 patterns I created from a painted cloth I found when traveling in South Africa some time ago. The first pattern is also available on my Ravelry page.

I've been enjoying lace knitting recently, so you’ll find lace elements in each section of the piece, and a few beads to add some emphasis and a bit of color.

The shawl was knit with Manos DK Silk Blend on 4.0mm needles. The yarn was a delight to work with and I think did justice to the original artwork.

Two identical panels are knit flat and are grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.
