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.

Difficulty level
This pattern features short rows and picking up and knitting stitches. Stitches used include knit, purl, skp, p2tog and yo as well as slipping stitches. This pattern is suitable for the intermediate knitter.

Yarn
Main color: 550 m (601 yards) / 132 g of sport weight alpaca yarn in green.

The sample shawl was knit in Ice Yarns Pure Alpaca 100% alpaca; 200 m (219 yards) per 50 g skein.
Substitute any fingering or sport weight yarn for a similar result.
