The perfect accessory for day or night, Parelli is a delicate laceweight shawl inspired by evening shawls from the 1920s. It mixes a traditional leaf lace pattern with garter stitch stripes in an easy sideways construction, for a modern twist on the traditional triangular shawl. Beads are placed on the “spine stitches” between yarnovers on the lace sections to give a glamourous look for evening but can also be left out for a more casual shawl.
