The Icicles Shawl was designed for the Sheldon and Missy’s 12 Days of Knitmas - Icicles and Rainbows 2023 advent calendar from Marianated Yarns. It combines a simple stockinette body with a vibrant band of slipped stitches, topped off with playful tassels. Dabble in color as you welcome the New Year!
