Himalaya
Shawls are one of my favorite things to knit for other people, and though I have never mastered the art of draping a shawl for full fashion appeal, I am an avid shawl-lover. There is one in my car that I keep around for whenever a restaurant or office building is too chilly. Whenever I have a doctor’s appointment or have an occasion to sit in a hospital waiting room there is one tucked in my bag. On occasion a good shawl has been known to double as a blanket for one of my girls on an especially chilly day or a long car trip. There is always an occasion to use one which is why I think they make a perfect keepsake for someone you care for. What I really adore are shawls that invite you to wrap yourself up in them whether you are sitting on the front porch reading or snuggling up on the couch in the middle of winter. Himalaya is an oversized triangular shawl meant for that kind of snuggling. The entrelac design is the perfect canvas for showcasing the dramatic colors of Shokay while the warmth and softness of the yarn makes it a perfect wrap and an heirloom quality addition to anyone’s collection.

Beautiful shawl! Colorful, happy, and utterly warm and comfy-looking. I, too, am a shawl addict. Shawls add that special something to any outfit, and they make great gifts of comfort or joy. Yay for shawls!

ooh! pretty! It’s entrelac, right? You must have loved playing with all that yak down and all those colors. I’m jealous.

Oh my! This is too beautiful for words. I can see myself with this at night on the deck snuggled up to my husband. I’ve never knit a shawl before, but I definitely want to do this one!

Hi, This looks wonderful! Is there a better link for downloading the pattern? I keep getting an error message that the file doesn’t exist.
Thanks! Phyl

I just finished one of these the other day! I knit mine in Patons Classic Wool (gotta love merino!) and it my favorite of all my shawls. It reaches the ground when I wear it. G-r-e-a-t for
