Pattern Description:

Hummingbird Charm is a lace shawl in two sizes, knit in one piece from the center-top outward. With both charts and written instructions, knitters are able to choose the most comfortable way to follow the pattern.

This design and amazing colorway were both inspired by the photo of an Anna's Hummingbird taken by Jose Yee, My Shot.
