Lorelei's Looking Glass

When I envisioned this shawl, I imagined the legendary mermaid, Lorelei, gazing out across the surface of her pool; when the water is still, she can see her reflection, but with the lightest stirring of wind, the water ripples and the reflection begins to mirror a thousand separate facets of sunlight. The light’s patterns change as it plays across the moving water, sometimes almost still and sometimes dancing across the dappled surface. Lorelei’s Looking Glass mimics this rippling reflection with garter stripes and slip-stitch motifs in a vortex-shaped shawl with a gentle curve that might remind you of a mermaid’s tail — but which also serves the very practical purpose of keeping the shawl snug around your shoulders. It is knit with two skeins of fingering-weight yarn in highly contrasting colors, with an integrated I-cord edge that hides the contrasting color being carried up the sides.THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD PATTERN ONLY - NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT Build your own kit.
