I always want a little something with me when I go for a walk—even on sunny spring days (you never know when the weather will change its mind). This scalloped two-tone design creates a light, lovely shawlette with a steady repeat to keep you engaged while it grows into shape. Worked in natural undyed wool, this versatile shawl will be easy to pair with other colors in your closet. The narrow size makes it perfect for days when just a touch of warmth will do.

Worked side to side in a crescent shape with increases on both the right side and wrong side rows (at the edges), your shawl will grow quickly in width without adding bulk to the body. You’ll alternate sections of texture with stripes to keep things interesting along the way.
