Nixe

Listing is for the pattern (knitting instructions) only.

Nixe is the German word for mermaid, and it seemed the perfect name for a shawl where the simple, repetitive stitch pattern evokes the sun-dappled scales of mermaids playing just below the surface of the sea.

I also love the way it showcases two new Pascuali Balayage colorways,a soft off-white and a hand-dyed turquoise flecked with jewel tones.

A wonderful accessory for the seaside!
