Lempi is a three-color shawl made up of squishy garter stitch, stripes, and mesh lace. Worked in DK-weight yarn it is quick to knit and the perfect thing to wrap yourself in when temperatures plummet!
The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the lace pattern.
