Once I knit mini-pompom for Alma, I decided it would be fun to knit another wee shawl! This little shawl uses a simple crescent shape, adds wispy novelty yarn stripes and a fun picot edging for a playful result!

Once again, I knit a second version of the yarn, this time using a different, more neutral tone of Lichen and Lace Merino Fingering and off white novelty yarn to create a slightly larger version with a more adult look!
