Bohemian is a modern triangle shaped shawl with geometric lace. I was wondering, what if I use lace from Jolie sweater and knit it with an aran weight yarn? I love the result so much! Thick and squishy garter stitch, lace, tassels and earthy tones - this shawl is all about boho chic. You need only less than 600 yds of wool and you will be surprised how quickly it grows on your needles. The Bohemian pictured is knitted with Nurtured by Julie Asselin so the shawl is both light and very warm.
Please read the directions carefully before you start knitting your very own Bohemian shawl.
