Home can be a place, a feeling, a song, a food, a smell, or even a person. Home is something that brings comfort and joy, a safe haven in a crazy world. The Feels Like Home shawl pattern is mean to be just that – a comfy, cozy enjoyable knitting project that brings joy and calm.
There are many different ways to knit this shawl with an endless number of possible colour combinations. The shawl is an asymmetrical triangle shape, which I find to be the most wearable shape of shawl. Whether you knit the shawl entirely out of scrappy yarn leftovers, stash dive for some special skeins and minis, or treat yourself by supporting an indie dyer or your local yarn shop, I hope that you will enjoy knitting this shawl as much as I enjoyed designing it, and that it truly feels like home for you.
