The Meadowcrest Shawl was inspired by the desire to create a shawl that would fend off chilly days or nights during the spring and summer. It’s crescent shaped, comes in two sizes, and features two lace patterns that are suitable for advanced beginners. The smaller size can be knit with just one skein of a fingering weight yarn. The larger shawl is generously sized to be worn multiple ways. The pattern includes both charted and written row-by-row instructions.
