Picture an elegant ornamental garden. Can you see it? It’s full of lovely flowers peeking through the picket fences, swaying in the breeze, turning skyward to the warmth of the sun. It’s a haven from a busy work day. A place to wander on a cool evening with a lacy shawl draped around your shoulders. A place to daydream…

A Garden of Shawls includes 12 beautiful lace shawls that evoke that feeling of being in a beautiful garden. Made with either fingering or lace weight yarns each shawl will inspire you to create your own slice of heaven.

The projects are worked using lace weight to fingering weight yarns - all from indie hand dyers - and are suitable for every crocheter who is comfortable with basic crochet stitches. Each pattern includes charts, a special stitches section, as well as written text to help the crafter work easily and comfortably through the pattern. The book also contains hints and information on how to adjust the shawls to work with heavier yarns and to customize a design to your personal taste.
