The MELANCHOLY SHAWL is a warm and soft scarf with a simple stockinette stitch part accentuated by a beautiful lace pattern. You can wrap it around your neck or it can caress your shoulders as well. It is worked from top down in one piece and is a simple add on that will work well with nearly every style. And if you would like to have your shawl longer, you can add more lace sections.

This shawl is knitted with 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Merino and 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair held together.
