Overview
Moonlight on Magnolias is a top down, crescent shaped shawl inspired by the beautiful Southern Magnolia tree, Magnolia grandiflora, that dots the landscape where I grew up in eastern North Carolina. It’s ONE size with an optional expanded border and uses between 600 and 750 yards (548-685m) of fingering weight yarn. Shown in Wendy’s Wonders 80/20 Fingering Gradient in Dream Land. Miyuki 6/0 seed beads in Crystal AB add a bit of sparkle.
