NOTE ABOUT YARN: This design uses a slightly different yarn from the mohair lace weight listed by Frankie Grey Fibres in the Ravelry database. It is a 64%/36% kid mohair/silk blend with 420 meters/459 yards per 50 gram skein. Because the yardage is a bit lower in the put-up I used (459 for the one I used vs 477 for the Ravelry listing), I did not link to the database yarn.

Inspired by the deeply touching poem “Kindness” by Naomi Shihab Nye, A Simple Breath will wrap you in an oversized hug of love and comfort. This is a straght-forward knit, for those times we need something soothing and just interesting enough to ooh and ahhh over. Worked with US 8 needles, it knits up fairly quickly, and the mohair halo fills in the lacy open fabric to create a floating confection of a hug.

This shawl is a mashup designed to incorporate elements of the three previous 2024 Lace Lovers Club shawls. I hope you love it!
