This shawl gently drapes over the shoulders and neatly closes in the front by pulling one end through the other.
Perfect in white for a bride.

Contrasting textures create a lacy and elegant effect. The “closure” is a little tricky, but the directions are very detailed. An easy, quick project for the intermediate knitter, challenging for the advanced beginner.

Alternate these 2 bands, working increases in the first row of the Eros II bands. Pick up stitches along the front edges to make the ties. One side is knit flat in ribbing and the other side is knit with a small tube to pull the flat side through.
