Blue hues, a simple but stylish shawl to knit with just a few surprises to keep you happily occupied. Slightly asymmetrical in shape, if I had to pick a shape, it’s definitely a rectangle. :smiley:

The knit kits can be found in my online yarn shop Yarnz2go.

Knitted in garter and stockinette stitches either with the Lofty skeins as shown or using up your yarn stash in varying colors and textures even yarn weights, makes this a great stash buster.
See specific yarn weights used on page 2 of pattern.

Plus let’s face it, a tassel always adds to the fun!
Blocked size: 52” long and 21” tall.
