Inspired by the season of spring, Zephyr is the embodiment of the burgeoning blossoms, lush foliage, crisp air, and pillared gazebos of a beautiful garden. Bunches of leaves, sprinkled with bobbles and butterfly-like textures, are bracketed within parallel lines of delicate lace. Pillar-like lace columns ending with elegant fans form symmetrical edges on the sides of the shawl. Providing warmth and elegance, this exquisite shawl is a treat for lace lovers.

Zephyr is a rectangular lace knit shawl made up of two identical panels, each worked back and forth from the end towards the center, then grafted together using Kitchener Stitch. Rigorous blocking is required to open up and set the lace patterns.

Lace patterns are written and charted.
