Summer Petals

Summer Petals is a deep crescent shawl which evokes those easy, breezy days of summer we all hanker after. Sections of repeating lace motifs are edged with a deep border reminiscent of overlapping petals. The shawl shaping begins as a traditional triangle with edge and spine increases. The spine increases are discontinued when the deep border begins, creating the deep crescent effect. The end result is a versatile shawl, less deep than a traditional triangle, and with ends long enough to easily wrap about your shoulders.
