This cozy wrap pattern incorporates stockinette stitch, garter rows, and lace elements. I have included written instructions for all sections, and I added ‘checkpoint’ notes to keep track of your stitch count throughout. At the end, I highly recommend wet blocking your shawl to get all stitches and lines nice and tidy. Feel free to add tassels on the corners as well.
