Forsythia Shawl

"Forsythia Shawl is a beautiful top-down shawl that’s enjoyable to make and features simple and delicate lace in a flower-like motif. The pretty picot edging adds a beautiful detail to this spring crochet shawl with a wonderful drape. This is a very feminine and elegant accessory that can be a perfect gift for mother, sister or friend. It looks gorgeous just in any color and type of yarn, without a doubt. You could use self-striping yarn like I did here, or make it in a solid color. So many possibilities!"
