Running Free

Wild horses race across the timeless landscape of Monument Valley—a breathtaking place that truly exists, not just the backdrop of classic western films. Their untamed spirit and boundless freedom are beautifully captured in this elegant lace shawl.

The shawl is worked from one end to the other, with the top and bottom borders knit as part of the main body. The end borders are added after the shawl is complete, creating a beautifully framed design. Because the lace pattern is worked on both right-side and wrong-side rows, this project offers an engaging knit for lace enthusiasts who enjoy watching the graceful horses emerge stitch by stitch.
