Fáinleog is a summer accessory that can be worn in many ways – wrapped around the neck as a cozy cowl, or worn as a luxurious light summer wrap.

It’s quick and fun to knit, and pattern includes a blank chart so you can design your own bird-inspired wrap!

Fáinleog is Irish for swallow. Swallows arrive in Ireland in April, having travelled thousands of miles from Africa. Every year I am impatient to see their busy silhouettes in the skies and when they suddenly appear, I know for sure – summer is almost here.
