AJour, a cleverly constructed shawl consisting of two separate pieces and actually gives you 3 different projects to knit from just this one pattern.
First you knit a crescent shawl with a beautiful lace border that is just beautiful to wear all on its own. Next, knit a scarf, which of course can also be worn by itself.
For the entire look of the shawl as shown, connect the scarf to the shawls lace border with ribbons.
No sewing!!! I show you how on Page 3 of the pattern. :slightly_smiling_face:
