I love wearing big, warm shawls during the chilly season. They keep you cozy and as a bonus, they look good and really make the outfit. This shawl is worked from top down, beginning with a Garter tab cast-on. Slip stitch pattern makes a nice texture and ribbed edging adds a comfy look.
This shawl is named after Viljandi, one of my favorite towns in Estonia.
