Meaning "wing" in Italian, Ala Shawl by Ksenia Naidyon of Life is Cozy draws its inspiration from birds in flight. Both its shape and lace motifs are reminiscent of the wings spread out wide. The main stitch pattern is elegant and rhythmic, and shines in the Ito yarns that hold the blocking beautifully.
The shawl is worked from tip to tip with increases along one edge for the first half of the pattern and mirrored decreases for the second. The delicate lace edging is worked at the same time with the body of the shawl. The pattern has instructions on making three different sizes. Directions are both written and charted out.
