Laughter Lines
This is a graphically visual delight of a shawl which is worked from the top down. A simple combination of stitches and an easy to remember pattern repeat come together to create a striking geometric eye catcher.
Make it in a light and luscious lace-weight yarn for something a little ethereal. Or try 4 ply/fingering weight, use a gradient cake or maybe some hand dyed yarn, combining a tonal with a speckle. And for a mega quick snuggle, try it in 8ply/DK weight. Change colours, keep it one colour, do what feels right, and make Laughter Lines all your own.
