Dahlia Shawl Crochet Pattern Download

Description

After establishing the first ten rows of this pattern, you can take this project with its four-row repeat to waiting rooms and ball games – it’s that easy. But once you get to that fabulous border, you’ll want to spend some quality time with the chart on page 24. The alpaca, silk, and cashmere blend of the hand-dyed Manos del Uruguay Lace gives this shawl an ethereal beauty that is a joy to wear.
