La Cumparsita is
one of the most well known tangos and means “the little parade.” This
delicate lacy shawl is composed of two complimentary lace patterns and
a simple border with an easy picot bind off. Worked in superwash merino
wool, it’s surprisingly durable and ready to be worn over a flirty
ruffled dress or slung round your neck as a elegant scarf.
