Dorothy is an easy, fun to knit raglan shawl that never gets boring thanks to a series of changing textures and patterns. Starting with a textured slip stitch stripe and ending with a simple chevron lace, there’s always something new to look forward to as you knit. The raglan shape makes it easy to wear and drape. Bright and cheerful, this is a shawl that can see you through the whole year!
