Charlize





Charlize
Charlize is an elegant yet modern, crescent-shaped shawlette that knits up beautifully in both semisolid and variegated yarns and can be worn casually or formally. Worked from the top center and outward to the ruffled edging, the lace portion is simple enough for someone new to lace, while engaging enough for experienced lace knitters looking for a quick, fun knit. The rapid rate of increasing gives this unique accessory enough length to be worn as a scarf and also creates a curved shape that will wrap easily around the shoulders when worn as a shawl.
