New free pattern: Serenata shawlette

2/19/2017

A few years ago, I came across five little sample skeins of Silk Blend Fino: a lush blend of merino and silk hand spun and hand dyed by Manos del Uruguay.
I instantly fell in love with the warm shades of orange and gold, the delicious texture and the amazing softness of this light fingering weight yarn.
Picture
It was a joy knitting this very easy shawlette with a such wonderful yarn! 
I want sharing this glee with all of you, hoping that you will have fun to knit your own Serenata with your favourite yarn... I'm  looking forward to see your colour and yarn choice!
