Introduction
Ragazza Lace Shawl is a rectangular sister of the Japandi Lace Shawl. Similarly, it is a fusion of simplicity and gentle utility in one beautiful lace project, but without increases worked on both sides which makes it a perfect beginner project.
The sport weight yarn makes it a beautiful light accessory to wear on days out as well as into the office when the sun is out, but you need something extra for chilly mornings or evenings.
The shawl is worked from bottom up to create a rectangular shape with lace texture.
