A warm and soft shawl is good to have now when it's getting colder.
This design is rather simple and have a pretty lace pattern.
It's from the book 'Sy och sticka på egen hand' by Eva Kruk.
You find a similar design on Ravelry.
This is a book with basic designs to sew and knit.
You can easily develop them as you wish for your own style and taste.
The pretty shawl is knitted in Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a wonderful yarn in mohair and silk. It comes in a lot of lovely colors.
Rowan has a similar design, the shawl 'Birch'.
For both shawls, it says in the pattern that the yarn amount is 3 balls. I've knitted two shawls and in one case that was not enough
but I had to by another ball.
I know now that this has happened to more knitters of this pattern.
To be sure that the amount of yarn is enough, the alternatives are to either cast on less stitches, 279st instead of 299st, or to buy 4 balls.
This color is Marmalade, 596.
