AJour shawl~
Definition of a jour: pierced, cut away, or made translucent in such a way as to form a design.
This pattern literally gives you three projects to create. There are two shawl versions. You can knit a smaller shawl and a scarf or the bigger shawl as featured in most of the photos and all from just the one pattern and/or one knit kit. Isn't that fabulous? I marked the smaller shawl version and the scarf, so you can see all your choices.
Starting out, first you knit a lovely crescent shape with increases that are very relaxing to create and easily memorized. You then adorn it with a beautiful bottom lace border. The final touch is a knitted separate skinny scarf that gets added very cleverly to the shawl with little ribbons. You'll love the creativity involved~
