Foolscap is a shawl you will snuggle into with a contented sigh. The garter stitch and slip stitch pattern creates a warm, cushiony fabric that molds to your body. Make the large size if you want a shawl that envelops you in comfort – like wearing your blanket all day! Make the small size if you want to wear it more like a scarf around your neck and shoulders.
