This shawl uses 2 yarns that are worked separately throughout to give the gorgeous gossamer look. One is a thick worsted yarn (Silky Twist) and the other is a laceweight metallic yarn (Silk Mohair Glitter) and they are perfect for this pattern.

It looks like a lace design, but it is a very simple Garter Stitch and Stockinette Stitch that are alternated, and a 3/3 cable pattern in the thick yarn creates the lovely open spaces that look like flowers.

Finish with an i-cord in Mohair Glitter along top edge.
