Description: ‘Lenz’ is a two-colored crescent shaped shawl with a cable and leaf border and a contrast color body in garter stitch. The shawl is inspired by the anticipation of nature slowly awakening in spring and bringing forth new leaves as well as the cozy cable sweaters worn in winter. The design brings together the two elements in one accessory. ‘Lenz’ is an old German word for spring.
