Hearts in Motion Shawl Pattern

The Hearts in Motion Shawl captures the rhythm of the heart in yarn and lace.

Parallel lines flow along the length of this rectangular shawl, ending in a delicate heart-shaped lace pattern. The easy-to-remember repeat makes this the perfect knit to lose yourself in: meditative, rhythmic, and deeply satisfying. Row by row, you'll feel the pulse of the pattern while creating something that will warm both body and heart.

Construction

The shawl is knitted flat, starting with a small number of stitches that increases gradually until the full width is reached. From there, it's knitted straight to its full length.
