Manohara

Manohara is the third of four patterns included in the Birds of Mythology ebook released as part of the Malabrigo Freelance Pattern Project for May 2012.

Have you ever wanted to spread your wings and fly away? Manohara is a half-bird/half-woman heroine of Buddhist and Hindu lore who flies away from danger. With the Manohara shawls, knitting can become your escape from the daily grind.

Note this design can be worked in Fingering Weight yarn at 22 sts per 4in/10cm or Lace Weight at 24 sts per 4in/10cm. Also it can be worked with 1 skein or 2, and 1 color or 2.
