Alma's mini-pompoms
Make sure to check out the other 2 patterns that make up Alma’s Triptych! Each pattern is priced at $5.50 or you can buy Alma’s Triptych with all three patterns for $9.00!
This sweet little shawl was originally designed for my grandniece, Alma! It is a simple triangular, garter stitch shawl knit in a fun, speckled fingering merino and embellished with neon mini-pompoms for fun!
Once I finished the first one and mailed it off to Alma, I thought it would be fun to work up a second one in a completely different palate! For the second one I used a more subdued main yarn (2 skeins instead of 1) and I embellished it with mini-mohair pompoms! Such a completely different feel!
