  This crescent shaped shawlette was designed to use one of those beautiful fingering weight, 100 gram single skeins of yarn that seem to follow us home from places like craft festivals 

and boutique yarn shops!

The airy fabric is knit on slightly larger needles, lending the finished piece an air of feminine grace that makes me think of the flower gardens of the Victorian age.

The charts may easily be repeated if you want a larger shawl, but as written this finished piece drapes luxuriously around the shoulders to ward off the chill of a spring evening, or to
add a graceful touch to finish the perfect outfit!
