Lavender Fields Easy Knit Shawl Pattern
Can you smell it? Spring is just around the corner. Don't put away your knitting needles just yet. This Lavender Fields Easy Knit Shawl Pattern is warm enough for the lingering chill of winter, but cool enough for the creeping warmth of spring. Even the colors are completely vernal, reminiscent of a purple, blossoming field of lavender and lilac. Offset by the soft gray, this toned-down shawl will do wonders to enhance natural beauty by drawing attention to the hair and face. There's no time to waste-spring waits for no one!
