In Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, the world is suffering under an unusually long Winter due to the machinations of the Staryk king and his knights. Through the clever schemes, courage, and adventures of three women, he is encouraged to see there are better ways to help both his people and theirs. Knit and wear this lovely lace shawl on your own adventures from Winter to Spring.

The pattern has options for the flowers along the border: the knitter can choose between designs using beads and lace, beads, beads and Nupps, or no beads or Nupps.

Two versions of the pattern are given upon purchase: Charted instructions and written instructions. Knitter’s choice!
