It’s a delicate but quick to work crescent shaped shawl that´s perfect for layering as the nights become cooler. Starting at the centre top, using knit and purl stitches only. Tiny lace flowers emerge from the stocking stitch background and frills create a 3-dimensional effect with a beautiful texture and drape.
