Small Hope Shawl

Sometimes the small hopes we have can carry us far. This shawl worked in an elegant silk and merino yarn in dreamy shades of color will inspire and motivate. Most of the shawl is worked in simple garter although slipped stitches in the garter and traveling yarnovers in the edging will keep you engaged. The Small Hope Shawl is worked from the top down into a long crescent shape that can be worn in numerous ways. The lace stitch pattern is provided in chart form along with line by line instructions.
