I wanted a lace piece to help me keep warm in evenings watching T.V. I got a piece that is a bit “better” than that. Then it turned into a collection; one for each season.
This lace shawl, worked as a Pi shawl from the center out, has the option of having sleeves or no sleeves.
The body is worked in one color and the edging is worked in a contrasting color. As the edging is worked, the body stitches are bound off. To finish you will have only a few stitches to graft together as you desire. This is the first in a series of four, one for each season. Welcome to Spring!
