INFO
The cracked ice of a frozen lake on a winter morning gave me the inspiration for this shawl.

The Frozen Loch shawl provides a stretchy bind-off for a neat finish to the graphic lace design, which is easy to work from fully written-out directions with stitch counts, as well as a schematic and an easy-to-read chart.
