“Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.” - Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute

This crescent shaped shawl is meant to mimic a spray of leaves and flowers on a beautiful spring morning. With a burst of star stitch and a knit-on lace edging, you’ll find this to be both a fun and fast “one skein wonder” project.
