Butterfly | Crescent Lace Shawl
Design Information
Just as a real butterfly flutters through the air with its delicate wings, the Butterfly Shawl mirrors this natural beauty. The sweeping crescent shape design, features wide sections of soothing garter stitch, beautifully contrasted by striking rows of eyelet. The soft lace edging, like the fragile tips of a butterfly's wings, gives the shawl a sense of lightness and movement. Knit in superkid mohair / superfine merino blend, Piper, the Butterfly Shawl emodies the perfect blend of beauty and grace.
