ABOUT

This light and airy half-circle wrap is crocheted using gradient yarn that has been intentionally dyed to slowly change colours as you work with it, creating a beautifully soft colour transition throughout your work. Evenly spaced rows of eyelets ripple out from the center, adding a touch of elegance to your finished piece. Crocheted using basic stitches, this feminine shawl is perfect for a beginner crocheter or anyone looking to create a beautiful accessory with minimal effort.
