A little bit of this and a little bit of that creates something new and wonderful. Lovely Stripes takes the eyelets from the Lovely Eyelets shawl and the stripes from 8 Simple Stripes and creates a larger, lighter, and airier shawl with lots of design versatility. This is a pattern that’s perfect for mini skeins, fade sets, complementary or contrasting colours, or a single shade.
