A touch of lace, a lot of stockinette…stitch after stitch to relax into and enjoy. This is both a process and a product knit, perfect for a quiet season’s project. We know you’ll love wearing your finished square too -- it’s sized so that when you fold it on the diagonal, you have ample tails to tuck into a coat (or your best sweatshirt).
