In Estonian lace knitting each shawl (or scarf) is comprised of a lace pattern and an edging pattern. Most of the lace patterns are based on items from nature. One of the prettiest was designed in 1992 to commemorate the visit of Sweden's Queen Silvia. It's the Silvia Pattern, a variation of the classic Haapsalu Lily of the Valley design.
