Modern lace shawls are minimal and sophisticated.
And they don’t have to mean complicated charts and difficult stitch patterns. Simple combinations of yarn overs and a handful of basic stitches result in shawls that look stunning and a lot more difficult than they really are.
Sea Grass, Asterism, Ardent and Rosewater are great examples of this. They’re fun to knit and wear, and fit modern wardrobes while still letting you enjoy the delicate beauty of lace. Just look at these beautiful projects highlighted here, made by knitters around the world.
