Lyrical Knits Sweet Caroline is a strikingly beautiful crescent-shaped shawl that is knit from the top down. It begins with stockinette stitch, then transitions into a shell lace pattern, and finishes with a leaf motif lace pattern. This piece is large enough to wear around your shoulders as a traditional shawl, but it can also be wrapped around your neck and worn as a delightful scarf.
