Glistening Waters
Sunbeams Section Repeat rows 1-4, one more time. 87sts
When the sparkling sunlight glimmers across the moving waters creating a luminous shimmer and bringing a calm, peaceful feeling of tranquility.
Glistening Waters is a simple and elegant design that comes from the concept of negative spaces created by using mohair combined with slip stitch sections. The addition of a single-ply yarn brings a luminous shine mimicking the glisten of sparkling water. The addition of mohair produces a soft flowing design that lets light through. Relaxing garter sections help to provide a lustrous backdrop and provides a dramatic background full of shimmery color.
Easy to knit without any serious counting makes this shawl the perfect relaxing summer knit and also terrific for beginners.
