You all know I can’t resist a pastel…so I’m THRILLED to welcome my fellow pastel lover Mary Renji to the blog with this absolutely beautiful shawl design. I’m obsessed with that combination of seafoam and hot pink – it’s perfect for adding some brightness back into dull weather days…and keeping you cosy in style! Not only are Mary’s colour choices perfect, I adore the lace panels that are inspired by one of the world’s most beautiful wonders, The Taj Mahal. So grab your hook and get ready to crochet up your own Wonder of the Wool with Mary’s lovely crochet lace shawl, The Seafoam Shawl.

Worried the pattern may be too complex? Don’t be. The lace pattern is easy to master, uses basic stitches and works in repetitions.

Mary says, “The pattern is a wonderful mix of lace and geometry. It is inspired by the marble lattice designs that I saw during my visit to see the Taj Mahal in Agra, India a few years ago. The lattice patterns are intricate yet so simple. The scarf looks complex but its super simple and meditative.“
