Why I Love This Pattern: A gorgeous Egyptian technique, and I love the ode to the scarab, which can be seen at the center and throughout. In ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle was a powerful symbol of protection, transformation, and rebirth. It was associated with the sun god Ra, who was believed to roll the sun across the sky just as the scarab rolls its ball of dung, an image of regeneration and the cycle of life. Scarabs were often used as amulets and buried with the dead to ensure safe passage to the afterlife. This one feels like a shawl of silk protection.
