Inspired by the beautiful hues of La Bien Aimee’s “J’ai Dix Ans” colorway, I imagined myself “by happenstance” wandering through Les Jardins du Luxembourg in Paris, admiring the abundant flowers and foliage in the Spring.

Delicate, light, and lacy, this somewhat traditional/ slightly modern half hap shawl would be a perfect accessory for such a day. It is lovely knit using a single colorway in two different bases, or pair two of your favorite colors for a bolder look.
