Forelsket Shawl

£5.00

First published in Colorful Crochet Knitwear by Sandra Gutierrez, the Forelsket Shawl is now available for individual purchase.

Forelsket (Norwegian) – the euphoric feeling of falling in love at the beginning of a relationship.

Remember that euphoric feeling of falling in love? When the lines of where you ended and your paramour started were so blurry that they were basically indistinguishable? This is the feeling that Forelsket evokes. The shawl uses striping to create a fade effect that blends colors together, while the striking chevron pattern with its lace elements results in a piece that evokes emotion and will elevate any outfit. Perfect to keep the chill away, you will want to wear Forelsket all year round. The reverse single crochet makes a beautiful rope-like edging.
