Lyanna's Knitted Shawl Pattern

"This Orenburg warm shawl, whose construction I learned from Galina Khmeleva, uses Snowflake and Strawberry motifs to reflect Lyanna's northern heritage and love of blue roses. The neutral shade of yarn reflects House Stark's colors of Gray and White. I added Ice-Blue beads for Lyanna and Ruby beads as a nod both to House Targaryen's colors of Red and Black and to the rubies that stud Rhaegar's breastplate." -Katrina King
