Painted Wings Shawlette
Completely beautiful and charmingly rustic, the Painted Wings Shawlette is a knit shawl pattern you'll love draping over your shoulders whenever the mood strikes. This lacy pattern looks amazing in a pretty multi-colored variegated yarn, but the design is strong enough to hold up to a solid color fiber, as well. The diamond lace edging looks lovely when styled like a scarf or covering your shoulders as a traditional knit shawl pattern.
