Grama's Shawl

A crocheted tablecloth lovingly created by Katrina King’s grandmother served as the inspiration for this gorgeous shawl. The shawl begins with a row of motifs that are worked from the center out and joined as you go. The body of the shawl is then worked on the long edge of the motifs at the bottom of the piece.
