This shawl, with it’s dainty and delicate lace motifs, invokes memories of my childhood spending time at my great grandmother, Helen’s house. She had the kind of house that, as a small child was stuffy and forbidden, but as an adult is a wonderland of antiques, lace doilies, and my grandmother’s handmade porcelain dolls in their beautiful handsewn dresses. Now at 92 years old, she still enjoys her house of treasures, and I treasure the few years I have left with her.

The combination of garter stitch, crown stitch accents, and a simple antique looking lace comes together beautifully in this gorgeous, colorful shawl. Featuring an icord edging that is both attractive and practical (it’s makes weaving in ends a cinch), and an attached lace and garter border that adds a touch of feminine grace and elegance. This shawl is a timeless piece that will be a flattering and versatile addition to any wardrobe!
