The Hometown Shawl evokes warm memories of returning home to find your favorite places and people waiting to welcome you. It is a hand knit hug that will warm your heart. You will delight in the process as well as the finished product. Three skeins of worsted weight yarn in your favorite colors and size US10 needles will make this comforting shawl the one you reach for time after time. Begin with a garter tab cast-on (video tutorial available) and enjoy stockinette, simple slipped stitches, and textured stripes.
