Vesper is a crescent-shaped lace shawl knitted form the top down.
It uses ca.70g of heavy weight lace yarn (Knitwitches Baby Camel & Silk 800m/100g). The colourway I chose is a mix of teals, purples and dark blue.
Main body of this shawl is knitted in a small and quite easy to execute pattern and finished with somewhat more challenging double leaf edging.
I provided written and charted instructions. Knitters who are familiar with all the basic lace stitches should have no problems knitting it.

Vesper is very elegant, great for dressing up for that special occasion.
It is very delicate and shimmers beautifully in the light, yet camel gives it a bit of warmth one would not expect from such a thin piece. It really makes a beautiful accessory for a women who wants to stand out in the crowd ;)
