This shapely shawl is a nice contrast to rectangles, squares, and triangles. Stockinette stitch and a simple lace pattern showcase the yarn and provide structured texture to the garment. A simple toggle and I-cord closure allows the garment to become a capelet or you can opt to wrap it snug around your neck. The deliciously thick yarn means this is a quick knit, and once you start, you won’t want to stop until it’s wrapped around you, warding off the fall chill.
