Twig Shawl
This elegant triangle shawl highlights the beauty of lightweight yarns. Worked from the top down, it features a simple stockinette body and finishes with a delicate twig lace border.
This shawl uses almost exactly one skein of Silk Mist (325 yards). If you generally knit looser, or you don’t get the same gauge, it would be highly advisable to buy two skeins of yarn so that you don’t run out. The samples knit with SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock used 90% of one skein.
