Lórien is a beautiful crescent shawl, worked in one piece, top-down. The body of the shawl is knit with fingering weight yarn in a simple garter stitch and eyelet pattern, followed by a lace part with a beautiful, botanical motif worked in a lace weight yarn. The finished shawl is a magnificent and timeless piece: delicate, light and airy. It is a perfect accessory for spring and summer days.

The yarn for this shawl design was kindly gifted by Ivy Fiber CO. ♡
