Elegant, delicate and dreamy, casual, or dressy, this shawl features a beautiful lace panel reminiscent of a Tiger Lily flower.
The sideways construction and lace progression will hold your interest to the bind-off.
The knitting will also seem to go faster as you will not have hundreds of stitches on your needles as compared to the bottom up or top down constructions.

The intricate shaping, first featured in Cabernet Sauvignon, ensures that your shawl wraps around your shoulders in a very flattering way and will stay put.
