This shawl uses linen stitch and scraps of yarn to make a giant cozy wrap that is great for all seasons! This is the perfect pattern for advents or lots of color!

The shawl starts with just three stitches, but expands to cover the shoulders nicely. It is then worked flat until it is decreased back down to three stitches. The pattern would be great for anyone wanting to try linen stitch for the first time! There are helpful pictures in the pattern along with written instructions and charts.
