Ruta Shawl – Light green

Ruta Pattern

This pattern was designed a couple of years ago after a visit to a traditional farmstead in Vittangi in the very North of Sweden. This style of patterning, with woven squares of varying sizes repeated all over the fabric, is prevalent all over Sweden. On the picture you can see the woolen, woven curtain in Vittangi I used for inspiration. These technique / style of woven fabrics are called Munkabälte and consist of different materials, colour combinations and pattern dimensions depending on where in Sweden they were made.

The shawl is knitted in a melange dyed cotton and lambswool with folded, hand stitched edges in a contrasting yellowish green.

Material: 50% soft lambswool, 50% melange dyed cotton
