Wild Rose Shawl Crochet Pattern Download

Description

The designer updates a centuries-old lace technique with lush, textured yarns and a thoroughly modern design. The three-dimensional motifs are crocheted first, then applied to a paper or muslin template; a picot mesh is worked to join the motifs and to form the body of the shawl.
