Hummocks is a shawl design that invites joy in the simple things. It begins and ends with just ten stitches, and grows with geometric motifs worked in simple combinations of knit and purl stitches. Knit in just one skein of a toothy, 100% Australian Merino wool yarn, this is a great project for beginners or for more experienced knitters looking for a relaxing project to improve their wool-being.
