Lilong Shawl

We're starting off 2025 with this gorgeous shawl! The Lilong Shawl tells a story of hidden corners, architectural precision, and subtle beauty. The floating colorwork mimics the intricate window grids and art deco tiles found in enchanting lilongtangs (traditional Shanghai city dwellings), where the contrast of golden ginkgo leaves and grey brick walls create a striking, timeless aesthetic. Our color kits of The Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering lend a perfect blend of luxurious softness and vibrant colors—delicate yet bold, just like this shawl. This project is sure to bring joy and creativity to your year ahead.
