Gracieuse

I see I have not blogged about my first pattern yet.

Gracieuse:

The idea for Gracieuse was born when I saw a very nice stitch pattern in an old Dutch ladies magazine that was put online. Originally it was to be used for the cuff of socks. I very much doubt if it would keep your socks at the right place, but I liked it for a shawl. And so the idea for a shawl was born, to be named after the magazine I found the stitch pattern in: Gracieuse.

I choose some Wollmeise from my stash. For the beautiful color, but also for the nice stitch definition.
I wanted the border to get the full attention, so I just did a simple body, stockinette shaped with short rows.
All in all it is a nice small shawl, suitable for every season.
