Á Chloris

Simple, sweet, and fit for any occasion, Á Chloris is a classic crescent shawl in two sizes. Cast on from the same number of stitches, the two are worked with short-rows from the top down. The laceweight shawl is worked with a rapid short-row rate, forming a shallow piece suitable for evening wear; the DK version utilizes a slower rate, creating a large, deep wrap just right for snuggling up in. An attached leaf lace edging finishes both versions. In either size, its old-fashioned charm and unpretentious versatility reflect its namesake song by Reynaldo Hahn.

Á Chlorisis part of Mélodies: Shawls Inspired by French Art Song. Full collection is available as a pdf ebook.
