Working one of my all-time favorite lace patterns into a gorgeous alpaca crescent shawl was an easy choice. And the resulting shawl is heavenly!

The beautiful, all over lace only consists of basic decreases and yarnovers, yet it creates a very pleasing and intricate looking fabric. The floral effect of the stitches is striking from any angle and shows to great advantage in the luxe alpaca yarn, as shown here.

This shawl is generously sized to easily wrap around your shoulders or to bundle or drape around your neck.

Please note: the lace is charted only.
