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!
