A lacy four-round motif is the heart of this cap-sleeved shrug. The motifs are linked together to create a light fabric both delicate and strong, like the wings of a moth. Triangles and half motifs give a gentle curve to the edges. A threadie’s dream, this cotton thread design is just right for summer evenings.
