Lilac Winds is a lush and lacy trapezoidal shawl with a softly scooped neck. Worked from the top down, it features stitch patterns inspired by lilac petals, wind, and pine boughs. An easy foundation loop row lets you customize your shawl’s relative width and depth.

Lilac Winds was designed with a gradient, but will also look lovely in solid or tonal yarns. For best appearance, choose a yarn that will block well.
