Description
Bluebell – This top-down crescent-shaped shawl is a joy for knitters who love lacework. The shawl increases six stitches every two rows, for the first portion of the shawl, giving the wings that classic crescent-shawl curl. The second portion of the shawl will increase 4 stitches every 2 rows, giving the shawl its depth.
Worked flat, Bluebell contains written directions and charts. A handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your row and stitch counts.
This shawl pattern shines well with solid, semi-solid, or lightly speckled yarns. Picking an appropriate yarn for this project will ensure you don’t have a yarn that distracts from the lovely lacework you’ll create.
