Windblown

This crescent shawl was designed to allow for extra drape and plenty of volume in which to wrap oneself.

The delicate and intricate lace pattern is intuitive, and easily memorized after a few repeats. The border elaborates on the pattern in the main body, with a smooth transition that looks seamless. I wanted the border to grow naturally out of the body of the pattern.

The shawl is crescent shaped, started in the middle. The volume is built up by increasing at the inner edge. No short rows required!

Sizing is adaptable, you choose how big the shawl is going to be by adding more repeats of the body section.

Any yarn from lace to fingering will look good on the shawl. Consequently, needles should be adapted to the yarn used and the degree of lacy effect that you desire to achieve. I personally prefer to knit lace with larger size needles to get it really lacy.
