I have a total love affair with knitting circular shawls. I love everything about them the designs, the math, (yeah, the math… I said it) the drama of the piece. The only thing I dislike is wearing them, do you fold them in half and loose showing off your work?

I designed this shawl with neck and what I’m calling “wings”. The wings wrap around your shoulders and hug you to prevent slipping off your shoulders. Out of the Black and into Brioche is stockinette stitch showing off any yarn you choose and providing ease of knitting. Then comes the WOW, by adding a second color and a Brioche we punch up the fun and the style.
