With this design, I wanted to pair a delicate lace motif with a bulky yarn—something not often seen with lace knitting! The lace pattern is quite simple, but paired with such heavy yarn, it creates a bold and striking design. It can be worn doubled over and bundled up around the neck or pulled down over the shoulders like a poncho.

Both written and charted instructions are included.
