Strength, elegance, femininity, and grace: these are hallmarks of the most memorable of women. The Dolores Shawl combines these qualities with sumptuous stitches of wool and silk for a generous wrap with a dramatic touch. The center rectangular panel features a bold, geometric lace motif that will keep you engaged as you knit the length of the wrap. Then, stitches are picked up on the edges and knit in short rows to form the ruffled, feminine border. Make a statement in this beautiful wrap that will make sure you too, are the most memorable of women.
