SPREAD the LOVE I’m feeling the winter doldrums and want to spread a little cheer and love. 50% off all my patterns!!

Quirky Quills is a lace shawl written in both the raglan and triangle styles and is knit in one piece from the center-top outward. With both charts and written instructions, knitters will be able to choose the most comfortable way to follow the pattern.

Instead of having one center spine like most triangle shawls, the raglan version of Quirky Quills is designed to have four sections with three spines, which allows the shawl to drape nicely over your shoulders.

Stitch counts for each repeat are given for both versions so it is easy to keep track of where you are in the pattern.

Pattern is written for both versions separately except for combined cover page with all the material needs, so it is easy to print only the portion of the pattern that you need.
