Astris Shawl is a sophisticated triangular shawl full of elegance and texture that is easy-to-wear and easy-to-care -for. The first section is worked in simple garter stitch, the second and third sections feature a series of eyelet motifs, and the final section is an elegant lace edge. ‘Astris’ means ‘stars’ in Latin and are beautifully depicted in the cascading eyelets in this pattern.
