A Walk in the Grass is a two-color boomerang shaped shawl, designed for worsted weight yarns.

The first section alternates garter and stockinette stitch and is very easy to execute, whereas the second section consists of a beautiful lace pattern, which requires some concentration, making this shawl an engaging and pleasant knit.

Note: The shawl is reversible, as it’s really cute on the back, too! :-)
