PATTERN INFO

El Lago, meaning ‘lake’ in Spanish, is a triangular shawl that evokes the cool, light blue waters of its namesake. Cascading bands and lines suggest the movement of a lake’s surface, with quiet ripples and small waves whipped up by passing breezes.

A pattern that is easily adaptable in size, the sample shown required only two skeins of fingering-weight yarn.

With videos provided for all necessary techniques, enjoy a lively combination of garter, eyelets, and slip stitches (no purling!), as you make your own version of this delightful accessory.
