Long rows of cushy garter stitch form the main body of the Elva Shawl, making it ideal for walks in the late autumn sunshine (or any other occasion!). The beautiful yet easy lace pattern running along one edge gives a little bit of interest without being frilly. The shawl knits up fast and is a great project to try your hands on lace.
