With a raised slip stitch, reminiscent of the vapor trail that a plane leaves across a blue sky, and a lace edging that waves in the wind, this rectangular shawl has the versatility of being worn on a cool fall evening or a cold winter day. Either scenario will leave you feeling beautifully wrapped in comforting garter stitch and distinctive lace details. Play with your color choices to own a shawl that is uniquely you!
