Christmas Spirit Shawl by Pavlina Inksmith pdf

As the Christmas season is upon us this wonderfully cosy triangular shawl will bring you the Christmas spirit you are looking for. It is devised of five sections that are divided by braids. In these sections you will find five exciting techniques: lace, braids, lift stitches, pearls that are attached with a crochet hook and brioche. This festive and just the right size shawl is mostly made from the very comfortable alpaca. But as you reach the third section you will not only find the alpaca material but also mohair with silk making it even more wonderfully soft and fluffy. This shawl’s festiveness doesn’t end with the colors, you also have the colorful pearly Christmas trees in the fourth section and the softness of the third section which will remind you of snow. If you haven’t gotten the Christmas spirit yet I hope this shawl will help you with that.
