Details: The Friendship Shawl is a modern approach and corporate traditional knitting for an easy knit wearable item that can be accompanied by many outfits. This design initially targets your 1 skein fingering weight yarn that you couldn’t ignore in your yarn shopping at a local yarn shop or a festival. I wanted to help the knitter to be able to immediately cast on a project while traveling or back from an exciting yarn shopping. Maybe there are a few one skeins of yarn in your stash that you always wanted to knit and wear but you couldn’t just decide about what to do with it. Well, this item is a promising piece to wear, making sure you enjoy having that beautiful one skein around your neck, matching your outfit, on a cool and windy day, or simply at home. Choose any type of fibre that you are comfortable with and dive into a very relaxing knitting project.
