Intensely Red by Hélène Marcy

This shawl designed by Eclatdusoleil is inspired by ancient Shetland shawls, with a central square framed by two borders. A modern knitting method allows it to be knitted in a single piece, without seams, on a long circular needle.

This is a project for patient, experienced knitters, the result is really worth your time. You can wear it in multiple ways, folded in a triangle, as a scarf or stole.
