Hellebores are beautiful and unique flowers. Sometimes called winter roses, they are prized by gardeners for their late winter or early spring bloom periods, well before other plants awaken. Some even bloom when still covered with snow.

With its center lace motif between two panels of stockinette, the Hellebore Shawl is reminiscent of these hardy little flowers as they begin to peek through the snow, reminding us that spring is on its way. When knit in the depths of winter and with a special and lovely yarn such as One Twisted Tree’s Lavish, the Hellebore Shawl can feel like a welcome respite to the chilly weather.
