Sanguinella is a shawl as romantic as the sunset. Inspired by the color of the yarn, which reminds me of sunsets on snow covered mountains and its namesake, my favorite oranges. When the sun sets, the mountain top snow glitters and shines in a myriad of colors, sparkling like diamonds. and the last rays of sunlight dance and reflect over the mountain tops sending beams into the sky.

Errata: Border pattern row 11 should read: k, k2tog (yo from previous row and next st, this is the first sts for your border lace pattern), then work border pattern starting with st 2.

• Lace patterning starts at intervals and expands into the main stockinette body of the shawl like mountains rising from a valley below.

• This crescent shaped shawl is worked in one piece from the top edge, with increases worked along the border, and uses just one skein of most sock yarns.

• The relative sturdiness of the top edge is what gives the shawl its shape and allows the lace pattern to retain some of the texture even after blocking.
