This slightly asymmetrical triangular shawl is worked flat, in one piece, on the bias. It features a delicate lace pattern that is both engaging to knit and easy to memorise. The finished shawl is delicate, light and airy, and it is the perfect accessory for spring and summer days. Lene’s inspiration came from the beautiful frost flower lace pattern that she used in her previous Laine pattern, the Midsummer Rose shawl, and the curiosity to see if she could adapt it to a biased construction with a scalloped edge.
