Somnium

Somnium is a shallow triangular shawl with dramatic points and fringe tassels, made in a luxurious yarn that drapes beautifully and knits up fast (only every 4th row is purled).

A little tasseled pouch close to the center top can be worn as a hood if draped around the head.

Exact gauge is not important for this project. Thicker yarns are recommended. Sample knitted with three skeins of Lang Yarns Silk Dream in colourway 696.0080.

Approximate measurements: 160 x 70 cm (63” x 27”).
