This crescent-shaped shawl pattern came from a desire to bring on an early Spring. With its lovely blue flowers on the bright grassy green background, all thoughts of Winter will soon belong to the past.
The shawl is worked bottom-up, starting with the flower border. Although worked in two colors, only one single color is used per row. Easy short rows create the crescent shape.
