This is a wedding shawl for a friend. It’s an August wedding, so I went with linen yarn to create a beautiful wedding shawl (which every bride needs) that would not be overly warm for an outdoor garden party photo session. While the yarn is slightly smaller gauge than the pattern called for, I used the recommended needle size to open up the stitch pattern a little bit more and provide more air flow. The stockinette body provides a minimalistic color accent without overshadowing the texture of the bride’s dress. Finally, the lace edging further compliments that dress texture without going overboard. Love this yarn and pattern - I might be making another!
