Bobbles can really lift a simple shawl make it interesting and exciting, and it’s fun to knit. Choose between a shawl in garter stitch or stockinette, with stripes with bobbles and a bobble bind off. The Social Bobble shawl only takes one skein of 4-ply/fingering yarn for the main colour, and approx. 85m for the bobbles.

Check out the sister shawl Betasseled if you’re more into tassels! Why not one of each!
