Butterflies Fluttering Around is a generous triangular shawl which steadily grows in size. Worked in three different colour tones; undyed (cream), light grey and taupe, using two distinctive types of yarn.

A fascinating butterfly motif is sprinkled over ¾ of the shawl, for the end section this motif continues but with cables either side. Cables also frame the whole shawl, running-up the ‘V’ edge.  A very loose cast-off makes the uppermost part wave naturally.

Relish making. Adore wearing.
