Heartland Lace Shawl #V611


To celebrate the return of the majestic animals that were at the heart of early life in North America, this triangular shawl features Bison Tracks Lace and ends with a River of Life Edging.

The Bison Tracks Lace depicts the buffalo’s heart-shaped hoof prints alternating with small diamonds that point to the four directions on earth. Because it is knit from the top down and the edging can be started at the end of any 20-row lace repeat, this shawl can be made with a variety of weights of yarn in a variety of sizes.

This shawl was the winner of the first Wild Fibers Magazine (www.wildfibersmagazine.com) and Buffalo Gold (www.buffalogold.net) contest in 2007.
