FAQs

Is this shawl pattern beginner-friendly?
Absolutely. If you can knit and yarn over, you can make this shawl. The pattern uses simple increases to shape the triangle.
What yarn should I use?
Try Darn Good Yarn’s reclaimed silk or bamboo yarns for a sustainable option. Any DK or light worsted yarn with good drape will work beautifully.
