Emilia's Nursing Shawl
There is also a Danish version available
When I was pregnant with my first child, all I wanted to make were cute baby knits. But then I realised soon after that I wanted to make something for myself, too. My daughter was a Winter baby, so a shawl seemed to be the best bet. I went onto Ravelry to see if I could find a shawl that could double as a nursing cover up, but the options were limited. So the Nursing Shawl was born!
You can substitute the yarn with any worsted/aran yarn that knits to the correct gauge. To keep the drape of the material, use a needle that is two or three sizes up from the recommendation on the ball band. Make sure to use superwash if you’re planning on using (or gifting) the shawl as a nursing shawl.
