The Lenny Shlanket is part shawl, part blanket, and all the drape and drama you’d hope for with an oversized shawl. It’s exactly the kind of project you want when you’re in the mood for something cozy and a little extra.

Knit in fingering weight yarn with delicate zig-zagging cables that gently transect the wrap, framed by textured stitches on either side for softness and flow. The cables nestle right into the lace, adding just the right amount of detail without overpowering the design.

The pattern features 2 sizes - Large and Extra Large - designed to use 3 or 4 full skeins of fingering weight yarn. It’s a satisfying knit with a big payoff: something dramatic enough to turn heads, but cozy enough to curl up in.

Whether you’re throwing it over your shoulders or tucking it into your bag for a little in-transit luxury, the Lenny Shlanket is ready to go wherever you do.
