Glimma is a crochet shawl with a textured stitch pattern which is fun and easy to make. The sequin-sprinkled border contains a couple more original stitches for a special touch.

Wrap it around your neck to protect you from the breeze, or drape it over your shoulders on a cool summer's evening, Glimma will be a gentle companion in all circumstances.

Glimma is a Swedish word meaning ‘sparkle’.

The shawl is crocheted from top to bottom, growing as you go. Its shape is an elongated triangle, making it easy to wear.
