In this bright yet delicate shawl, blocks of contrasting stitches create interesting juxtapositions as the beautiful ombré yarn gently unfurls its gradient of colour. Gauzy lace lies next to dense, three-dimensional braids, while solid, textural stitches brush shoulders with airy gaps of filet crochet to ensure there is plenty for the eye to explore.
