Flamenco Shawl pattern now available!

“Spanish Dancer” laceweight yarn from Blue Heron Yarns is worked in broomstick lace to create this colorful and comfortable shawl. Stitches are decreased so the top is narrower than the bottom. Fling this shawl over your shoulder, and the resulting gathers resemble a rose. The pattern is available through my website, SharonSilverman.com.

Coronet Scarf pattern now available!

This luscious Mondial bamboo yarn worked perfectly with the lacy design of the Coronet Scarf. It changes color slowly so you get a lot of nice contrasts among the black, cream, and grey. The yarn is really soft, too.

The scarf starts with what would usually be trim, the crown-shaped coronets. Then, going back into the foundation chain, the middle is openwork and crossed stitches. The scarf ends with the coronets again for symmetry.





The pattern is available at SharonSilverman.com.
