So, why the name Serendipity?
Because it’s all about the happy accidents and delightful surprises that bring us the best things in life—like stumbling upon the perfect pattern when you’re just messing around.
Inspiration
Serendipity means good luck or fortune in finding things we are not looking for. This is exactly what happened with this pattern for me. I wanted to make a poncho with a shell pattern and suddenly I had this idea for a shawl. And the serendipity shawl was born. It has an absolutely gorgeous lacy pattern. This shawl involves no shaping or sewing and is a joy to make! The fringes are optional, it looks perfect with or without them because of the shell border!
