SHAWL

Spring

The British weather is anything but predictable, so this gorgeous

accessory is a seasonal must-have! It is just the thing to throw over your

shoulders whenever a breeze picks up. However, the attractive eyelets will

save you from feeling stuffy when the warmer weather finally arrives.

Ambitious knitters who want to learn more about lace work should seriously

consider introducing this knit to their transseasonal wardrobe!
