A Simple Affair is the perfect project for when you want easy, meditative knitting that still results in a beautiful, wearable piece. With relaxing garter stitch sections accented by simple eyelets and finished with a twisted rib border, this shawl is both elegant and simple to make. It’s designed with two size options based on gauge, giving you flexibility while keeping the instructions straightforward. The heart-shaped design offers a generous wingspan without too much depth, making it effortless to wrap and style.
