Suspiria is an arrowhead shawl that I have created in two different versions. This shawl is the guest pattern for the Swiss Yarn Festival 2023, in which I am thrilled to participate. With this pattern, I wanted to create a simple but entertaining piece in which nothing is what it seems. This shawl has two versions that show you how the same pattern can have a completely different look if you play with your favourite colour palette.

Suggested yarn
I propose two versions of this shawl with two colour ranges: A) one more minimalist and B) another more playful and fun with a hand-dyed base by Francesco.
Version A) knitted in Merino Fingering by Musa Yarn, creates a colour-block effect that ends with a flowing part of mohair and silk. And version B) knitted in Merino Plus from Dark Omen, proposes a set of stripes to also end with a fluffy and soft part with the final trim in mohair and silk.
