Shawl Visteria by Julia-Maria Hegenbart

Craft: Knitting

The symmetrical triangular shawl VISTERIA in a one- and two-colored English rib pattern with a centre seam is knitted in rows from the centre of the long edge to the outside. Each row is knitted with only one colour.

This shawl has been inspired by the beautiful fragrant flowers of the wisteria plant. Worn over the shoulders or wrapped around the neck, the two-tone pattern with the fine lace lines cascade delicately down the body, similarly to a wisteria plant in early summer.

The shawl is knitted with Pinta, a wonderful blend of merino, silks and ramie.
