Delfine
Designed by Alexandra Frankel
The fluffiest mohair meets elegant lace in the romantic Delfine shawlette. Plush garter stitch feeds into delicate lace points, while a slipped stitch selvedge gives a polished finish to the opposite edge. The elongated crescent shape is surrounded by a cloud-like halo, adding a feeling of luxury to this ultra-chic accent piece.

PATTERN NOTES
This crescent-shaped shawlette is knit end to end, increasing to its widest point and then decreasing back down. Shaping occurs along the left edge of the piece before working the lace border. Due to the increases and decreases in the lace border, the total stitch count will fluctuate throughout the pattern.
The Edge Lace pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.
Please note that this shawlette is written to make the most of one ball of Fonty Ombelle. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece, or you may wish to purchase an extra ball as insurance.
