Broadband is a quirky shawl that incorporates a Knit One Below texture stitch pattern, chevron shaping, and a slowly increasing arc in the body that allows the shawl to wrap and hug you as you wear it.

The shawl can be knit in two colors or with mini skeins for the contrast color. Knit out of DK, the shawl knits up fast and has a lot of SQUISH factor that is sure to keep you knitting to the end of the project!

The rainbow version was designed with a kit from Three Irish Girls! You can grab a kit from their website HERE.
