Eyelet rows and a lacy pattern of puff stitches come together in this beautifully detailed shawl. It is so light and soft you hardly notice wearing it, but even so it lends a bit of extra warmth for chillier summer nights.

Sorry but do you have any picture pattens with this “dew drop shawl”??? I can’t read it. ????????
Post your questions and we can help or reach out to the designer as needed.
This pattern is shown in large. How do I make it medium size?
Hi Rebekah! We’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola
I have almost completed a very large, months-long project of a lace shawl using this yarn, and to my dismay, I find I am a few grams (not more than 5) short. The yarn has been discontinued and I can’t find any anywhere in this color. I was wondering whether the designer might possibly have even part of a skein (any dye lot) that I could purchase. I would be very, very grateful.
