The structural base of many gardens is the trelliswork, which allows climbing plants to flourish. This shawl interprets a lattice trellis design, with diamond motifs and textural joins of wrapped stitches. For a fun touch, the shawl calls for 2 colours of fingering weight yarn. A light and dark colour together have a lovely contrast, but you can use whatever combination of hues that you like!
