As a good bouquet’s beauty comes to life over a number of days, this shawl will only increase its enchantment of you the longer you knit it. There is a wistful familiarity in this stitch pattern, and it is one that quickly becomes intuitive with its calming flow. The simplicity of the diamond lace and eyelets combine to create a shawl that is striking yet subtle, a shawl that captures the eye but is never intrusive. This is a shawl to wrap around your shoulders; a shawl that provides comfort and cosiness.
