Evoking the spirit of yesteryear, this easy to knit lace trimmed shawl is a pleasure to make. Oaklinn Shawl is romantic and whimsical, a look you will love. The shawl has a crescent shape with elongated wings, which makes it easy to wear in a number of different ways.
Worked from the bottom up, easy to memorise lace bands in two colours teamed with straight forward shaping means this shawl doesn’t require epic knitting. The short rows don’t require any special techniques.
