This gorgeous shawl is perfect for chilly nights. It’s light weight but solid fabric will keep you cozy.

This is the perfect time to break into your stash of handspun as the pattern repeats can be worked as many times as needed until your yarn runs out.. The garter stitch sections will make any art yarn stand out. You can wear this in it’s shawl form to top off a great dress or simply wear it as a scarf and let the stripes collapse in on themselves so the garter sections appear as a solid fabric. Either way, this wrap will keep you warm. The shape of this shawl is formed by utilizing two different techniques to produce circles. The wing allows you to securely wrap it over your shoulder without worrying about it falling down all the time.
