SUMMER MEADOW
This shawl is named for the yarns I used for the first version. Lovely, fingering weight yarns, a hand dyed merino single combined with an Onion Nettle sock yarn.
I created a crescent shaped shawl with them. I wanted to use most of the yarn, but not so much that you would have to play yarn chicken.
The design features garter rows, striped garter and garter lace. Easy enough to use for TV knitting, interesting enough to keep your attention.
All techniques are explained in the pattern.
The pattern has a row by row description.
