About End of the Box
Avoid the bickering over the last of the festive chocolates, take yourself away for some much needed me time with your favourite jewel shade yarn, hook and an absorbing pattern. The elegant lace is a four row repeat which, once mastered you can chat and make.
This shawl is designed to make the very most of a short skein of 4ply/fingering yarn and has a very discrete Christmas tree motif but the lacy design lends itself well to spring or summer wear.

Size:
Wingspan: 132cm/52in Depth: 53cm/21in
The shawl can be made larger or smaller by working more or fewer pattern repeats. This will alter the amount of yarn required.
