Alegria Shawl

Alegria is the Portuguese word for happiness. What makes you happy? A walk in the park on a sunny winter Sunday. The company of your loved ones walking by your side. Wearing a shawl for the first time after knitting it.
The yarn used for this crescent shaped shawl (Nortada, by Dyed by Alfinete) is extremely light, soft, and warm.
