You will start with a lovely lacy bottom edging, followed by a captivating true lace pattern stitch that will keep you engaged and excited throughout the knitting process.

Designed to be worked from the bottom up in two halves, the shawl is expertly joined at the center using the Kitchener stitch, ensuring a seamless finish.
