Save the Bees

I asked lace knitters "What July reminds you?". Nicole and Lesley mentioned bees and sunflower yellow. How cute they turned out?

Bees are not just cool insects, they are crucial part of our ecosystem. Around one-third of human food comes from a bee’s pollination, as they collect nectar and pollen. More than 80% of plants on the Earth have been pollinated by bees.

Pattern of shawl is charted and easy to follow. Shawl gets its shape by decreasing method – you start with bunch of a stitches (edge lace) and decrease stitches as instructed.

Take it into consideration that final result will depend on yarn weight, size of needles and your knitting gauge.
