This triangular-shaped shawl knits up quickly at a bulky gauge to wrap yourself in cushiony warmth. It combines a simple fleck stitch with an eyelet and garter stitch border for visual and textural contrast. Designed to use one full skein of Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool (which measures up at a generous 478 yards), you’ll have a versatile addition to your cold-weather wardrobe in next to no time!
