A Pi shawl with reverse stockinette sections and highlights of an accent yarn

O Ignis Spiritus Paracaliti
Hildegard von Bingen

This shawl was inspired by both the mirrored nature of the music, as well as the line “life within life,” from within the song. A pi shawl is a perfect reflection of continual growth, or life coming from itself. The mirrored stitches and increases mean that the shawl grows outward. This bulky weight shawl is also the perfect “armor of the heart and hope,” being big enough that you can wrap it around yourself to keep yourself safe and warm.

Fiery Spirit is perfect for that one skein of beautiful handspun, art yarn, or leftover yarn that you want to use every yard of. Pair it with a bulky yarn for a comfy and warm shawl that you can wear through all of the cold months.

1 skein of Bernat Velvet Stripes in Hemlock Shadow - 315 yards per 300 grams

There are instructions for adding your accent yarn, but you can use how much of it as you’d like throughout the whole shawl.
