Pattern is available here and here.

Balada is a crescent-shaped, top-down shawl that’s completely seamless. It features a delicate leafy lace pattern in the center and a textured lace ribbing on the sides, all of which makes this shawl the perfect accessory for a holiday party. All three sections dissolve into a wavy edging that’s finished with a lovely elastic picot bind-off. Pattern is easily customizable by adjusting the number of pattern repeats.
