Bona Dea
Bona Dea, named for the Good Goddess, the goddess of fertility, is a graceful crescent shawl worked from the bottom up.
Two sizes are given in the pattern:
Larger Version: 80” wide, blocked
Smaller Version: 47” wide, blocked
This design is the perfect first lace project--and is a great introduction to short row knitting.
