Ombra Shawl by Ruth Nguyen

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

Capturing the feeling of sitting in the shade of a tree in the summer breeze, Ombra’s leafy lace is designed to go with you on all the season’s adventures. Knit from the top down with repeatable charts so you can customize the size, this crescent shawl knits up quickly in fingering weight at an airy gauge. Throw it on with jeans and a tee for picnics, layer with a sundress for an evening stroll, or pair with heels for an evening wedding—this shawl will be your most loyal warm-weather wardrobe staple.
