20% of this pattern sales will be donated to ACT-SO, a division of NAACP designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among African-American high school students. Coming from a family of teachers, I especially value such programs and believe in their empowering abilities.

”Veter” is a sonic interpretation of a Slavic word for wind, which playfulness and strength were the inspiration behind this design. These days, this shawl's name has got a new, deeper meaning - it is an interpretation of the Wind of Change all of us can feel.

The shawl is completed in a V-shape which is easy to knit and very comfortable to wear. This feature combined with the generous size make the shawl a lovely addition to warmer weather wardrobes.

Full of air and light as a feather, this shawl looks like some of its rows were knit with the strands of gentle breeze. The pattern was designed to highlight the beauty of combining kid mohair with fingering weight yarn. Alternating stripe patterns keep you entertained and are very satisfying to knit. Depending on the gauge and available yardage, your project may differ in size. You can increase/decrease the length of a shawl by repeating/skipping some of the stripes to use up all the yarn from a skein without any leftovers.

What kind of Veter will fly off your needles? ♡
