Summerflies
My how summer flies by, but this lacy summer shawl is the perfect accessory to cover bare shoulders on a breezy summer evening. The butterfly and lace motif are accented by an open knotted work trellis, reminiscent of butterflies happily fluttering through your summer garden.
This shawl is worked by sections with increases made only on the right side rows. This creates a gentle curve for a shallow half round shawl. I recommend using natural plant fiber yarn in a DK or worsted weight, but you may use any DK or worsted weight yarn you wish.

I am so excited to get this pretty shawl started! I think I will use some beautiful yarn that I have been holding onto for the longest time waiting to become something beautiful. I think I have found it’s deserving pattern!
Hi Ladies-
This is an exquisite shawl and I am sure we are all flooding you with messages that the link says “expired”….ouch and help!
Thanks for generously posting it as a freebie!
Sorry about that. I had it linked incorrectly. Hopefully its now fixed.
Love this! Want to make this one right away.Thanks for sharing your lovely design.
BEAUTIFUL! Can I have a copy of the pattern? I’m not able to get to it through this link.
THANKS! Happy Sunday to you!!
You should be able to download it now. If you still have trouble email hollyandellaknits@gmail.com and I will get it to you.
What a gorgeous pattern! You’re so generous to share it. And for us newbie lace knitters, handling worsted weight wool seems like a safe way to start. Thanks again!

Beautiful shawl. Clearly written and nicely laid out pattern. I am usually a charts only kind of girl, but I am so glad that I decided to make this anyway. Many thanks for sharing your creativity.

I’ve been SEARCHING for the right weight shawl, stole, or shrug to wear as a light cover at work when a sweater is too much. This looks like it! Finally. . . ‘-)
That shawl is absolutely gorgeous! I have the perfect lace merino for this pattern. Thanks so much!
Who says Spanish speakers don’t knit?!?
