The new Darcel shawl feels like a breath of fresh air. It's wonderfully lightweight and filled with color. A lovely lace pattern that gets repeated in this shawl is easy to knit.

The color changes happen automatically here and you can actually start from either end of the skein, there is no right or wrong. The pattern is fully written and offers a lace chart as well. The blocked shawl measures 90" across the bottom edge and 11" in height. The knit kits include A single Ten-spot skein, 340 yards in lace weight yarns. There are ten color changes all in cool cottons and linens. The printed pattern and emailed PDF file. All packaged in a convenient project bag.
