Inspiration

The Essence of Summer
If I could, I would capture the essence of summer and carry it with me at all times…

Vibrance
The way that the rows are combined makes for an interesting shawl. The change of stitches for every row, combined with your choice of yarn, can really add a lot of vibrance to your shawl. It will also add variation to the crochet experience as well as to the finished piece.
