Like a true Diva, this design is glamorous and truly eye-catching with its exquisite lace border. The stockinette body lets that special skein of fingering weight yarn really shine.

Diva is a semi-circle Pi shawl worked from the top-down and is started with a garter stitch tab. The lace in the border is patterned on both right side and wrong side rows. The instructions are provided both charted and written out.
