Let's Go Fly a Kite

When I think of summer, gentle warm days full of bike rides and flying kites at the Berkeley Marina are the first things that spring to mind. When I start to think about kites, I can’t help but think of the movie Mary Poppins, currently My daughter’s favorite, and how important wind and kites play as a theme for family and change. These thoughts brought along the inspiration for my first ever shawl design: “Let’s Go Fly a Kite”.

This pattern has an unusual "heart" shape. Its construction is a bit different than a traditional shawl, which lends towards its beauty and unique movement. The wings of the shawl naturally drape around the shoulders and form cascade ruffles when worn open.

*YARN in 3 colors: Main Color (MC) 100g; Contrast Color (CC) 40g; Accent Color (AC) 35g
