A knit shawl inspired by the Spring meteor shower. With its staggered rows of large eyelets, the Lyrids shawl evokes falling stars. Lyrids is knit on large needles for quick finishing. A colorful and innovative stripe pattern keeps things interesting, and only two colors are carried at a time, making this a fun project for the adventurous beginner.
