Fika

Fika (fee-ka) is a large triangular shawl is named after the Swedish "fika" custom - you take a moment out of your busy life to slow down over a cup of coffee and spend some time catching your breath. You can fika by yourself, but it's even better with friends (and baked goods).

The Fika shawl features an all-over leaf motif and a deep moss stitch border. Aimed at intermediate knitters, the shawl is both charted and knitted. It is worked in a rustic yarn from Scandinavia and the sizing is easy to modify.
