Shawl of the Wild - Knitting Pattern

$5.50

A generous and easy-to-knit, easy-to-wear shawl worked from top to bottom. Rows are either knitted, purled or worked in eyelet stitch. The shawl is a complete circle with a front opening, so it won’t slide off shoulders. Designed to be easy enough to work in dark yarn such as black or the gorgeous moss green yarn (Cascade Heritage 6) shown in the photos. It is a fun and rewarding project and you’ll want more than one.
