I'm not an Elf
This pattern was part of the Icelandic Yarn Club 1. It is now available as a single pattern PDF.
To travel from the human world to the Elves world, the Elves women lay their shawl in a swamp and step on it. I always imagined how it would go if I was going to do the same, how the shawl would get heavy with mud and distorted, would even get a hole in it…
The “I’m not an Elf woman” foulard starts like a typical top-down Icelandic shawl using a traditional motif but then takes a life on its own and shifts color and shape.
