There’s something mesmerizing about watching water move. It dances and flows in a rhythm that soothes and calms. This super-bulky shawl does that same thing, spinning & dancing. What’s more, it has “wings” that make it easy to drape and pin in place so it won’t breeze right off your shoulders. Being super-bulky also makes it a quick knit; even better!

Once the circular swirl is finished, you’ll bind off most of the circle, reserving two stockinette wedges for the wings, which are knit flat, decreased, and bound off.
