The Mapling Shawl is a sumptuous drape of gorgeous Mandala yarn color. A triangular wrap, it’s held in place by three oversize wooden buttons. If you don’t prefer closures on your garment, just skip the buttonhole instructions when you’re making the placket.

Let the back stand up to snuggle around the nape of your neck, or fold it down into a shawl color.

This easy pattern is simply worked up in single- and double-crochets, and turns out in no time. But make sure that you always have an equal number of stitches on either side of the back V, so your wrap doesn’t suffer from scoliosis.
