Anwar means “brighter,” “luminous,” or “light,” depending on where you look. Either way knitting this shawl certainly made a rather dull winter a little bit brighter.
The four row, six stitch, lace repeat is easily memorizable, but builds upon itself to create a stunning shawl.
Instructions are also included for a half circle.

More Swatches
I’m always working on some project or another, which means I often have FOs and new designs to share. You can see all my FOs … here … and all my designs … here.
Seriously, it’s getting a little ridiculous around here, and the swatching won’t stop anytime soon (but at least I enjoy swatching.)
I think they kind of look like children’s toys. Maybe?
