The sample as shown was knitted from a Yarnz2go knit kit HERE

The colors in this shawl remind me of Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches I used to love as a child, so I figured that’s a fine name for this beauty.

This crescent shape is knitted from the top down, first in simple stockinette stitches with pretty eyelet edges growing the shawl. Two lovely lace patterns followed by an easy garter stitch border round this project up beautifully.

The pattern is fully written and has charts for both lace sections.

The blocked size is 17” in middle height and 72” in overall length along the bottom border.

Yarn used here
