This flower-inspired top-down shawl combines single crochet v-stitch with chain loops and half-treble fans for a dainty, allover lace pattern. Milflores can be worked with any weight yarn, and is easily customized for size. For best appearance, choose a solid, tonal, or gradient yarn.

Pattern includes charts and written instructions.
