Fresh Prints

A flirty triangle shawl, worked from neck to hem in two sizes (petite/tall), with a deep openwork border of overlapping leaf motifs. The easy-to-work stitch patterns and wrong-side rest rows make this piece a great first shawl project or a fun, relaxing weekend traveler for experienced knitters. Its ornate appearance belies its simplicity of construction; this piece knits up quickly and effortlessly to make a beautiful spring accessory or last-minute gift..
