Nile Valley Shawl
|
|
Nile Valley Shawl is a lace crescent-shaped shawl inspired by the winding Nile River. Begun with an intricate lace border, the zig-zag lines of eyelets continue up into the short-row shaped body. Nile Valley uses 1 skein of sock yarn, and the stitch patterns compliment the color variations of hand-dyed yarn. Border lace pattern is in charted form only.
