Utility Shawl
The Utility Shawl is a triangular shawl that is knit sideways from point to point in the round.
Therefore it creates a warm and wearable shawl that can show off amazing yarns.
Let your creativity be free with this pattern, it is a wonderful base for colour techniques like striping and colour work.
It would even be a fabulous base for some embroidery!
