Rainforest Dragonflies Shawl

Live in the moment!

$9.20 Au

Being fortunate enough to live in a rainforest environment, gives me plenty of opportunity to watch the dragonflies as they go about their day! Many of my designs are inspired by these gorgeous creatures!

This lightweight shawl was designed to blend in with their environment and to honour these amazing creature.

I used Wolltraum My Melody for this design, but any lightweight, similar yarn will work.

This is an intermediate level pattern.
