Reyes de España Shawl

This is the second in a series of adventure shawls made for my best friend Monika to chronicle our travels together. The Reyes de España Shawl captures our amazing trip together through southern Spain with three other friends. We lived like kings, eating jamon and manchego everyday and enjoying a pot of sangria every night while we watched the stars over the olive orchard.

The shawl has a unique construction that combines a circular shawl with a triangle shawl. The circular middle panel represents the beautiful geometric tiles at the Alhambra. The outer lace pattern mimics the skirts of the flamenco dancers on the streets of Sevilla during the Feria celebration. Although you may not have traveled with us, you can still enjoy this beautiful Spanish inspired adventure shawl.

For the FINGERING Full-sized Shawl, you will need about 924 yds and 5mm/US 8 40cm and 80cm circular and DPNs. For a LACE Shawlette (sized 117cm across x 81cm), you will need 880 yds of lace weight yarn and 4mm/US6 40cm and 80cm circular needles and DPNs.
