The Lysandre is a shawl that is visually striking with a geometrical design, enriched with organic colours that enhance its natural appeal. It is knitted flat using the mosaic technique, allowing each row to be worked with a single strand of yarn. While this technique creates a beautiful and intricate texture, it also results in many ends to weave in—so be kind to your future self and weave some as you go. With its diamond-shaped construction, the shawl is designed to fold elegantly before wrapping around your neck or shoulders, creating a plush, cosy, and extra-comfortable fabric.
Kits are available here.
