Bain de Soleil Shawl Pattern

This shawl is an original design by Louise Robert for Biscotte Yarns. Bain de Soleil (which means sunbath in french) highlights our Flamel yarn in the color "Salt & Pepper", the sparkling Fizwizbiz in "Charbon" color, and the beautiful Hermione in the color "Coupe de feu". A soft and warm sunbath to wear all year long!

The inspiration for this shawl came from the colors themselves. Waiting for a spring that was late coming, I had a visceral need for vitamin D. This is how “Bain De Soleil” (which mean Sunbath in french) fell from my needles as would a ray of heat on my skin on a summer day. - Louise

This pattern includes both charts and written instructions for each stitch pattern.
