A wealth of authentic crochet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe field of olive trees opens and closes like a fan<\/em>\u201d says a poem by Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca. And, like a fan combining simple stitches<\/em>, the Olivera Shawl<\/strong><\/a> grows in your hands. The perfect design for authentic crochet lovers, created with the softness, warmth, and colorfulness of Cotton-Cashmere by Concept by Katia<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dal\u00ed<\/em>, El Greco<\/em>, Matisse<\/em>, Van Gogh,<\/em> and many other painters have captured the beauty and colorfulness of olive groves in their works. The Olivera Shawl<\/a> uses a natural color<\/em> palette to paint a landscape of lace<\/strong> stitches<\/strong>, shells<\/strong>, and bobbles<\/strong>. Enjoy the feel of Cotton-Cashmere<\/em><\/a> in green, ocher, and white tones: an intense, light, and serene combination.<\/p>\n

Semicircular crochet shawl<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s reformulate a traditional saying: Do not let the olive branch (or crochet hook) fall from my hand. <\/em>During the Olivera CAL, we suggest making a semicircular crochet shawl<\/em> with the help of patterns<\/strong>, charts<\/strong>, and step-by-step<\/em> videos<\/strong>, so that you can work at your own pace, with great attention to detail. We will share a pattern split into 4 parts and a border. Each part consists of 2 sections in two different colors. Finally, we teach you how to finish off the work with a classic shell border<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
