This sturdy triangular shawl from Bristol Ivy gives a nod to both knitting and quilting traditions with a half-star motif formed in garter stitch against a stockinette stitch background—knitted in Chickadee, this is an easy and relaxing knit, and a reliable wrap to have on hand as the temperatures fall.
