Hyacinth Shawlette

Hi knitters! It is finally March and I love this month with all the blooming flowers it brings, and the many happy events we celebrate during it; woman's day, mother's day, and in my home country, teacher's day, tree's day and the new year. I will try to celebrate and commemorate as many events this month as possible. This ombre shawlette is dedicated to mothers; its magical design and lovely colors make it very suitable as a gift, and it can be knitted using any other type of yarn. Enjoy spring, stay safe for the time being, and I hope that everything will go back to normal soon. Happy spring month to you all!
