This shawl gently drapes over the shoulders and neatly closes in the front by pulling one end
through the other. Perfect for those cool evenings.

The finished size is 54” (not including the ties) and 10” deep.

A contrast of two very different textures creates an interesting effect.
A little experience in pattern reading and following directions is needed. The “closure” is a little tricky, but the directions are very explicit.
An easy, quick project for the intermediate knitter, challenging for the advanced beginner.

Other yarns of comparable weight can be substituted for the yarns used in the pattern, putting your own “mark” to the design.
