Sometimes you just need a little lace, a pop of color, and a light-weight shawl that provides just enough warmth for those late summer nights.

The Bottle Shawl combines three colors and features a lace band that provides structural detail to compliment the stockinette section of brightly-colored speckle yarn. As shown, the pattern was knit with three fingering weight yarns:
Shawl Body: Madelinetosh TML in Cosmic Wonder Dust
Lace Section: The Plucky Knitter Feet in Buzz Lighter
Stripe Detail: Wollmeise Pure 100% Merino Wool in 26Fe
