Make sure to check out the other 2 patterns that make up Alma’s Triptych! Each pattern is priced at $5.50 or you can buy Alma’s Triptych with all three patterns for $9.00!

The third mini-shawl in the Alma Triptych series is an asymmetric shape with eyelet sections embellished with beautiful silk ribbon! Originally knit in a fun, speckled yarn from Madelinetosh with lots of Alma’s favorite pink tones, the fun really shines through in the pink ribbon sections.

Again, I knit a second version, this time in lovely A Verb for Keeping Warm Annapurna with a more neutral color palate better suited for adult wear!
