This pattern was created to represent April 2020 in the Flower Power Fund to raise money for Marie Curie UK.
DyeNinja dyed the yarn for the same month and picked Periwinkle (Vinca Minor in latin) for the flower, the yarn in the photos was a limited edition, but there are similar colours in their regular yarn offering.

The result is a spring shawl, with mesh lace and stocking stitch diamonds, great for a little warmth around the neck.

The pattern is fully written and charted, suitable for someone who has done a little bit of lace before. The pattern can be adjusted for size by working more or less repeats.
