The first Goddess shawl, in the series of three, is the Freya Shawl. Freya is the Norse Goddess of Love, as well as many other things! I love everything about this wearable simple accessory. I chose some luxury yarn to knit this sample which is going to be a gift for Rach.
This shawl includes the Cluster stitch design element from the Beks shawl. The crescent shawl is created by knitting sideways, ensuring you never have too many stitches on your needle. The design is created with an icord on each edge for a neat finish.
The pattern stripes mohair with fingering weight yarn creating a soft and light weight shawl. I have knit the sample in tonal Cashmere Fingering Weight and Mohair Silk lace yarn. It would be just as lovely in contrasting colours. I’m also going to make a sample just in mohair. You might see that on our podcast one day!
