Say hello to La La Lilacs! This cheerful spring shawl features bold mosaic flowers, breezy lace, and bright color contrast. The lace repeats are easy to memorize, and with one color worked at a time, it’s a relaxing, satisfying knit.

The shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shape, knitted sideways. The pattern is written to use most of the 2 skeins of yarn, but the size is easy to adjust by working more or fewer repeats (you will need more yarn if you want to make it bigger). The pattern can be worked from the written instructions or charts.
