Windswept Boomerang calls to that special skein of fingering/sock weight yarn and knitter looking for a fun and relaxing knit.
Always enjoy the versatility of the boomerang shape, as it adds a bit of spontaneity to the day, whether worn as a shawl, wrap, or scarf…and always a favorite travel companion.
Pattern is accessible to the novice and experienced knitter. Created on US 7 needles, it’s a satisfyingly quick knit…you’ll have it blocking in no time.
