Misty Memories Knit Lace Shawl FREE Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl
This gorgeous shawl is knit from the top down, beginning with a burst of flower petals, trails down into a trellis like lace pattern and ends with a scalloped lace edging. Inspired by daydreams of gazing out through the mist and being mesmerized by the textures of the sea.

I’ve been knitting over 50 years and I’ve never seen the instruction "turn 90 degrees to the left"!!! Please explain? Thank you – I really really want to do this. It’s beautiful!
