Designer Kirsten Joel presents the Dragonfly Shawl.

Like its namesake, the dragonfly, this striking shawl embodies elegance and ethereal flight.

It begins with a classic garter stitch section, flowing into a stunning lace panel featuring an easy-to-memorize double eyelet lace stitch.

Triangular in shape, with its sleek lines and graceful expansion, reflects the streamlined body of a dragonfly, while the double eyelet stitch mimics the translucent patterns found on its wings.

Knit in soft and airy, Piper, the dragonfly shawl is the symbol of lightness, movement and grace.
