Les Vignes
Like a vineyard stretching out to the horizon, this simple lace pattern winds its way down the shawl.
Les vignes (vineyards in French) may be worked with two panels for a traditional triangle shape, or three panels to allow it to drape gracefully around the neck and over the shoulders.
Both written and charted instructions for the lace are provided. Both 2- and 3-panel versions of the shawl can be worked in either of two sizes: small or large.
And like a fine vintage, this is a design you can savour for years to come.

2-panel:
-
Small - 97 cm/38 inches wide by 48 cm/19 inches deep at neck.

Note regarding Oceanwind Knits custom colourway:
The large, 3 panel version in the top photo was made with three custom hand-dyed colours (LV1, LV2, LV3) of Oceanwind Knits Sock Merino (100% Superwash) yarn, which is no longer available.
