Limelight

This pattern includes instructions in English and Finnish.

Limelight is a simple but beautiful crescent-shaped shawl with a fun and relaxing mix of garter stitch, short row stripes and simple lace. It is worked from the top down, starting with a garter-tab cast-on. Choose your favorite pop colour to bring a bit of brightness to this design! You can break the yarns between sections or just carry the other colour along by knitting the three edge stitches with both yarns.
