Gather two colors of fingering weight yarn to knit this top-down lacey shawl. The first color features a textured basketweave pattern framed with I-cord edges. The basketweave motif increases in size to shape the semi-circular shawl.

Use a color pop or splashy speckled yarn for the smocked border with crisp twisted stitches. Large yarn overs and short rows complete the shawl, resulting in an exaggerated holey effect. A final picot bind off mimics bouquets of flowers blooming from the lacey border. The textures of this shawl are a delight to knit, especially with a soft and silky yarn like Qing Fibre Yak Singles. The colors of this yarn are dyed on a light grey base adding a shadowy depth and dimension to each stitch.
