I wanted to design a piece for years and decided better late than never. I saw this yarn by Miss Babs and at first, I thought I’d design a bridal shawl. As I began to work the design and use this beautiful yarn, the simplicity and flow made it clear that the shawl could be worn anytime. I love all things sparkly and Miss Babs Estrellita Fingering Weight yarn was the perfect choice. It’s a fast and fun knit. It can also be made with different weight yarns but know that the size will be affected. I hope you’re as excited about my first pattern as I am. Happy knitting!
