Christening Shawl

I have designed this christening shawl as an accessory to my FREE Christening Outfit on my sister site justcrochet.

Imagine your little one dressed in a white outfit you have made and wrapped in a matching shawl, it can also be passed on through your family or used as an heirloom.

Hope you enjoy.
