Wild West Lace Shawl #V712
My fascination with bison and their fiber continues, and this pictorial shawl was inspired by some 2-ply fingering-weight, spindle-spun buffalo yarn.
Wrap up in a bit of the Wild West with this garter stitch lace shawl that celebrates the untamed spirit of the bison. It shows birds flying in the sunshine above a river and buffalo roaming in grass, leaving a trail of heart-shaped hoof prints.
The triangle is knit from the neck down, and beads can be added at the scalloped edge. The size is determined by the yarn, and the shawl can be knit in lace, fingering, and Shetland/sport/DK yarns.
The majestic bison are largest land animals in North America and remain untamed. They are a symbol of abundance, so this shawl is a great way to honor an abundance of wild spirit in life.
