Songbird Shawl
Designed By: Loraine Birchall (Adapted for Skeino Yarn)
When I first saw this shawl, I fell in love. Look at that amazing spine! The lace patterns blend into each other seamlessly, creating a stunning shawl that will definitely become an heirloom piece.
This gorgeous shawl is knitted in our extra fine merino lace weight yarn, Bianca. It will be love at first touch! Bianca is the absolute softest yarn we have, combined with a breathtaking jewel tone or the palest pink you will adore everything about this shawl!
The Songbird Shawl is worked from the top down. It is lace knitting, so the right-side rows are lacework with increases, decreases, and yarn overs, while the back is only purled. Instructions are both written and charted.
You can knit 2 shawls from one skein.
