Silex Spring refers to one of the many beautiful sulfur springs that my family and I encountered during our trip to Yellowstone Park; a vacation that remains dear to my heart. The colors in the Miss Babs Perseus gradient reminded me of these springs.

Silex Spring is a top-down, crescent-shaped shawl consisting of slipped stitches and garter rows separated by a simple lace pattern. The lace is only worked on the right side rows and is a great pattern for those looking to expand their horizon into lace knitting.

Yarn: The shawl uses one 400-yard fingering weight skein for the Main Color and six gradient, fingering weight skeins, at least 100 yards each. Additional gradient sets to be used with a 400-yard fingering weight Main Color may be found here.
