Designed by Jane Vanselous

Notes From the Designer:

•Leander - the name of a beautiful pink apricot rosebush. Deep shades of salmon, apricot and yellow rose buds that open to soft pastel shades of pink, peach and white, fading away to the rich hues of burnt orange and gold. Three different shades create a subtle gradient as you progress to the end of the shawl.

•The shawl begins at the narrow end, gradually increasing out to the wider edge. Narrow strips of lacework are inserted along the way, while also creating a notched outer edge. The same lacework is repeated several times to finish off the design.

•Instructions are provided for a lace-free version if you feel more comfortable with that!
