Product Details
In honor of my daughter's wedding, I designed a shawl inspired by the 1,000 origami cranes strung throughout the wedding venue -- a symbol of eternal good luck!
Papercranes is an asymmetric shaped shawl with a simple eyelet pattern. While the eyelet "cranes" appear random, in fact my oldest daughter and artist, Amalia, worked with me to place the "cranes" like falling water droplets, in the Japanese tradition. Knit edge-to-edge using simple yarn overs to make each eyelet crane, this papercrane is knit in Seven Sisters Arts Astrid on US #4 needles -- the resulting fabric is amazing, with perfect softness and drape!
