This shawl has become one of my favourite accessories, and I hope you’ll love it too. Taking inspiration from the gorgeous Daintree base by Skein Yarn, I’ve featured delicate lace motifs reminiscent of the fan palms that call our iconic Queensland rainforest home. A little bit of garter stitch and a fun eyelet border will keep you engaged throughout the entire knit!
