Floating Butterflies Shawl

Description

This gossamer shawl is crocheted from the center/top down in a luscious multi-colored laceweight yarn. The border changes from a mesh background to a double crochet background to add both visual interest, and a little weight to the fabric at the hem so it hangs nicely when being worn. The beginning of the shawl is written out row by row, then, with a little help from some traveling stitch markers, it’s a short intuitive leap to placing the butterflies and completing the shawl.
