ATMEN SHAWL

A slipped stitch rib pattern and color changes make this an engaging yet meditative knit. The all-over ribbing creates a shawl that is cozy, springy and substantial. Add an openwork border and you’ve got all the components of a knitting project you can lose yourself in at the end of a stressful day. The finished shawl is a stylish, easy-to-wear accessory perfect for wrapping yourself up in all year round.

Try it with ombré, speckles, brights or pastels - whatever the combo just have fun with it! Pick a fave Netflix show to binge, cast on, relax, and get knitflixing.

I hope you all love this shawl as much as I do and find yourself letting go and taking a deep long breath while you enjoy knitting its meditative stitches. Atmen means breathe in German and this shawl holds a very special place in my heart. To read more about the story behind Atmen pop by the blog HERE.
