Tropical Lacy Shawls – Free Knitting Patterns

Sometimes all we need is a fresh dose of knitting patterns for lacy shawls and a tropical breeze that feels like summer. If you don’t have an island at hand, all you can do is to buy yourself some pina colada and try setting up a hammock in your living room. So while you are just chilling, why not pick up your knitting needles… right?
