This is the crochet version of The Road Trip Shawl. A great travel companion! Long rows of mock garter in speckled yarn offset simple but delightful lace sections that mimic migrating butterflies, rows of crop fields and wildflowers growing in open fields. Along the way you’ll crochet in rhythmic mock garter stitch much like the endless miles of highway traveled. There are relaxing stitches and stitches to keep your interest piqued. Made in dk weight yarn this shawl will keep you cozy no matter how far you wander from home. Happy travels and happy crocheting!
