Light, airy, and beautifully simple to knit, this two-colour shawl is a dream for warm-weather wear. Alternating sections of Stockinette stitch and Garter lead perfectly to a gorgeous lace border, as delightfully as leaves lead to spring flowers.

PATTERN NOTES
Piece is knit flat from side to side. The first stitch of every row is slipped with the yarn in front.
The Lace Border is both written (see Lace Border) and charted for your preference.
