Milky Oolong

Milky Oolong is a top-down crescent-shaped shawl with a subtle halo and delicate lace sections.

This shawl was inspired by a variety of Taiwanese tea with a subtly smooth, sweet, and creamy flavor. The Milky Oolong shawl has a cloud-like softness that comes from working with two strands of yarn: one wool, one fluff.

Milky Oolong is a joy to work on with a calming garter-stitch body and easy lace sections on the border. The shawl comes in three sizes along with instructions for adjusting the shawl size to your liking.

This pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the lace pattern.
