This pattern was free to the first 500 people who downloaded. Thank you to all those who did. The time flew by and an extra 308 of you snuck in before I could turn it off. I hope you all had a lovely Mothers Day!

Designed for the Winter Wonderland display of the shop window at Magpie & Me in Framlingham, this shawl drapes beautifully across the shoulders. With a sparkly lace weight yarn, beads, and a cute picot edging that resembles the edge of a snowflake it uses a very simple lace pattern which works up quite quickly.
