Starry Night – a shawl like an impressionist painting

Vincent van Gogh’s famous “Night Study” – our “Starry Night” – was his attempt to capture the mystery of the night sky. This asymmetrical triangle shawl is my own attempt to transform the magic of the night into stitches.

The colorful, garter-stitch texture looks like an impressionist painting with a touch of sparkle, as the Forbidden Fibers Co yarn contains Stellina. A light touch of lace from the soft Shibui yarn makes the overall piece gentle and airy.

Knit your “Starry Night” shawl now and carry a piece of the night sky with you 🧶✨
