Lotus Horizon Shawl

Bright, jewel-toned bands of simple lace flow through a speckled river of garter stitch in this graceful, fingering-weight shawl. Each lace band represents an Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol (flax, house, lotus) and teaches a new, simple lace stitch that is easy to memorize and a treat to learn.
