Waves of textured openwork sweep across a shawl crocheted in broomstick lace. The singular technique marries wide loops worked on a large knitting needle with single-crochet clusters, forming a draped yet robust fabric. Worked crosswise in Silk Garden Sock, the shawl is shaped to form a crescent with bold sawtooth edgings. Shades of aqua, lilac, buttercup and green—the colors of #437 Penelope’s Garden—emblazon its generous wingspan. A pair of oversize tassels adorn the ends.
