Reminiscent of multifaceted diamonds, but much less expensive, this elegant Faroese-style shawl makes a bold statement. Its generous size makes it a true luxury to wear.

Edelstein, German for gemstone, is a two-triangle shawl with a lace insertion in place of the center spine stitch. It starts with a garter tab and chevron lace before merging into an airy diamond lace, while maintaining a lace and mini cable insert between the two triangles. The shawl is finished with a knitted-on lace border.
