The Zinnia pretty crescent shaped shawl is incredibly lightweight and just perfect for any season, worn as a shawl in the summer, a kerchief in the fall or wrap it around as a cowl on cooler days. You can see just how many ways you can wear it....
It is knitted top down with one of our exclusive Lightly skeins and a special mini skein holding a combination of all the colors featured in your skein that is used in the bind off at the bottom. A pretty lace pattern grows in the middle, while the top and bottom portions are knitted in stockinette stitch. The sides are constantly growing to the blocked size measuring 63" in overall length and 13" in middle height.
The pattern is fully written and includes a lace chart as well.
