Back to Giverny shawl is a triangular “cousin” to Gardens of Giverny stole and shawl, which were inspired by paintings of Claude Monet. He fell in love with Giverny while looking out of a train window. He bought a house and land and set out to create the magnificent gardens he wanted to paint. Some of his most famous paintings were of his gardens in Giverny. This shawl is like his paintings — balanced brightly colored lace patches surrounded by simple garter frames.

Asymmetrical triangular shawl is worked from side to side in a garter stitch with short row(no warps) sections of simple lace in-between. The construction of the shawl is different from their cousins, but short row sections are similarly built. Size is completely customizable, it can be a big shawl or a narrow scarf.

Pattern available in two formats: compact (2 pages) and large print (5 pages) - instructions in larger print format ( this version is better for those who uses portable devices like tablets and e-readers; also for those knitters who have difficulties reading small font on paper)
