Limelight

This pattern is published in *52 Weeks of Shawls* by Laine Publishing. *Limelight* is a simple but beautiful crescent-shaped shawl with a fun and relaxing mix of garter stitch, short row stripes and simple lace. It is worked from the top down, starting with a garter-tab cast-on. Choose your favorite pop colour to bring a bit of brightness to this design!
