Swallowtail Lace Shawl #
A border of lily of the valley adds an interesting counterpoint to the tiny budding lace patern at the top of this small shawl. It ends with a scalloped edging, and the lace throughout has an Estonian influence.
This shawl looks great in both solid and semi-solid color lace, fingering, and Shetland/sport/DK weight yarns
