There’s something quietly powerful about soft colors—and Say it in Pastel captures just that. This rectangular shawl is all about balance: clean, crisp stripes in the center meet delicate lace on both ends, creating a look that’s elegant but still relaxed. You’ll be working with five beautiful shades of Lunaris by Lanivendole—
a soft, Italian mohair blend that feels light, airy, and wonderfully soft against the skin.

The pattern is a joy to knit: the stripes keep things flowing, and the lace corners add just the right amount of interest without ever feeling too fussy. The result is a generous wrap you can really wrap yourself in—light enough to float, big enough to make a statement.

Whether you’re dressing up a simple outfit or adding a gentle layer for a walk by the sea, Say it in Pastel brings a calm, modern elegance to every look. Choose your five shades and let the colors do the talking.
