Lilium (Lat.: Lily) Shrug is inspired by the simple two-directional lace pattern that is reminiscent of its namesake flower. The lace is very intuitive and meditative to knit, and construction starts with a simple knitted rectangle, making this a beginner-friendly project. The Shrug has a generous oversized fit, and drapes beautifully over the body, providing a layer of warmth and feminine beauty.
