Inspired by starlight and cascading sparks of fireworks, this feather-light shawl is sure to bring a touch of sparkle to chilly nights and works equally well with a glamorous cocktail dress or tucked into the neck of a winter coat. It’s perfect for that gorgeous little skein of lace that you couldn’t resist buying but aren’t sure what to do with!
Bring On The Night begins as a traditional triangle shawl. Additional increases are then worked on the WS rows after the initial beaded section to curve the edges up into a crescent, making it much easier to wear than the standard triangular shape.
