The Valley of Fire shawl is a top-down, crescent shaped shawl with a center lace panel that flows down and out along the shawl’s bottom edge. You’ll finish by knitting each individual flame tip separately.
This design was inspired by the red Sandstone formations found throughout the south of Nevada and Utah, which appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun’s rays.
