This winter many people wears shawls as a scarf and I love it but I wouldn't buy one! So I started looking for patterns, but they were too complicated or I didn't like it or they wouldn't be good for the yarn I had. I wanted something easy and fast and after trying a few times with different needles, voilà! Fernandina was born.
About the name I have to say that all my patterns have names that have to do with the book Todo bajo el cielo from Matilde Asensi and this time I chose Fernanda, who was a spanish girl from early 20th century and I pretty shure that she'd wear a shawl like this one. Fernanda wants her aunt to tell her Fernandina, not Fernanda, but the aunt finds this ridiculous.
