Cantabile Shawl features an airy lace texture that gives the accessory both structure and flow. The lace work is engaging to work, stunning in its finished drape and visually striking from every angle and either side.

The shawl is worked length-wise with a faux i-cord for a beautiful edging.

Cantabile (pronounced kan-TAH-bee-leh) is music-inspired, flowing and lyrical – like a line meant to be sung.
