This beautiful shrug is worked in an easy lace pattern that produces a gorgeous piece that both mother and daughter will enjoy wearing. The shrug is a piece of rectangular knitting that is folded in half. The top and bottom portion of the shrug is worked in garter stitch. For the adult size, stitches will be picked up for cuffs which are worked in 1X1 ribbing. For the child size, the cuffs are worked in garter stitch along with the pattern itself, so there is no picking up stitches later.

Savannah is a sleeveless, high-neck dress that features a geometric colorwork bodice that transitions into a simple Lattice Lace skirt, and finished with a Diamond Lace pattern. The construction is top-down, in the round, with Steeks for sleeve openings and back neck closure. Slight waist shaping is done by changing to a smaller needle size. Transitions between each lace section incorporate gradual increases that shape the skirt. The skirt length can be easily extended by working additional lace repeats.
