Linarii is an engaging but enjoyable knit. Wear her like a scarf, coil and knot her up like a cowl or drape her elegantly across your shoulders. Linarii is a versatile piece that you’ll reach for again and again. The body of the shawl is worked in a snowflake pattern - Linarii’s name inspiration is drawn from the Australian ‘Melaleuca Snowflake’, a shrub that blooms with nectar-filled snowflake-like flowers.

Linarii is worked from end to end, with each tip scattered randomly with eyelets and squishy ridges, which sweep in opposite directions.
