Lilac Season shawl
knitting pattern

Airy as a spring breeze, this lacy triangle in three sizes (petite/medium/tall) is knit from the neck down in simple openwork motifs that end in a scalloping hem. With WS rows mostly in purl, this project is a cool and easy summer companion. The result is a surefire show-off at pool-side or patio get-togethers in warm weather and a beautiful accent for a smart suit or overcoat when winter rolls around again.
