Are you ready for a challenge? Meet Penelope!

This top-down half-pi shawl is ideal for advanced knitters who live for lace and enjoy the challenge of increasing and decreasing in a brioche motif.

How gorgeous is the yarn used in this pattern sample?! Caroline of Ancient Arts Yarns put the combo together. I fell in love with her Lavender Feilds Forever colorway and she was so incredibly helpful when I asked what to pair with it. I cannot recommend her yarn enough. It’s always a great experience.

Worked flat, Penelope contains written directions and charts. A handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your rows and stitch counts. Yardage for each section is given should you wish to turn this into a scrappy project!
