Despite the intricate appearance, Gossamer is a surprisingly quick knit. The delicate lace may look fancy, but it’s just yarn overs and simple decreases on garter stitch. And no purling!
You work this crescent-shaped shawl from the top down with only one skein of fingering weight yarn. The wide lace border steals the show, and the picot bind-off adds the final touch.
Gossamer is proof that lace doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.
