What’s more summery than a tumble of leafy lace in a bright, cheerful color? Knit from the center out in a trio of subtly asymmetrical sections, this petal-soft shawl is elegant enough for a wedding or summer garden party – but it’s not too sweet! The deeply scalloped points add plenty of drama, and when wrapped as a scarf you can wear it well into fall. Charted lace instructions are easy to follow.

PLEASE NOTE: lace pattern stitches are charted only.
