Pattern Description:

Seymour Shawlette
is the third piece in a series of shawls
and wraps inspired by the lives of the
six wives of Henry VIII.
This shawlette is designed with three

stockinette stitch interrupted by a lace
stripe that evokes tiny forget-me-nots
and crowns, flowing into overlapping
ovals and hearts at the bottom edges.
This is a perfect project for hand-dyed
lace-weight yarn, and a lovely lightweight
accessory for summer or any
time.
