This semicircle shawl was inspired by a round doily pattern, found in the vintage Femmes d’aujourd’hui #1095 magazine.

You can choose between two versions of the body or, it would be more correct to say, between two versions of the upper section of your shawl: lacy leaves or mesh body. Both versions are worked top-down beginning from the center back of the neck.

Finished size depends on yarn choice, needle size and your individual manner of knitting. The gauge is not crucially important but will affect the finished shawl size and yardage requirements.
