Schnee – the name alone makes you feel the softness of this shawl (it's German for snow!). It evokes gentle snowdrifts, quiet winter days, and adds a touch of timeless elegance to any outfit.
Schnee is worked in two separate pieces, which are then joined together with a 3-needle bind-off for a clean, nearly invisible finish.
Its delicate striping is created by alternating rows of two luxurious yarns: Shibui Knits Silk Cloud, a whisper-light mohair-silk blend, and Shibui Knits Lunar, a silky merino yarn.
Sometimes they’re held together, sometimes worked separately – creating a subtle texture play that’s both interesting and wonderfully easy to knit.
The result is a fabric that’s airy, fluffy, and shimmers with a silky glow – like a snowflake landing on your skin. Thanks to its generous size, Schnee offers endless styling options: wear it as a scarf, wrap it around your shoulders, or drape it elegantly over a dress.
It’s the kind of project that brings joy – both while knitting and every time you wear it. ❄️
