Full Heart Crescent
Glimmers of light, overcast skies, rays of shimmering sunshine, and moonlit crescents provide backdrops for everyday life. This crescent shape is the perfect accessory for dressing up, hanging out, celebrating a special day, or just needing a hug kind of day. Pattern name credit goes to the love of my life.
Simple lace, right twists, and soothing stockinette sections provide a relaxing and meditative knit. Great introduction to lace knitting.
