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.
Right above the comment section to the right (below the bottom picture) there is a link “Dew Drops Chart”. Is this what you’re looking for?
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.
