Juturna is a Roman goddess of fire, water, protection and balance, and is symbolised by fountains.

This is a large cosy shawl using stocking stitch and reversed stocking stitch, fluted at the bottom edge, rising to an eyelet pattern towards the top, like the spray off a fountain. There is some shoulder shaping to make the shawl a better fit.

Although I have knitted the shawl in a plain colour, i think it would look really attractive in a variegated yarn.

I shall be wearing this a lot during winter.
