This is a fun knit and works up quickly. I have made it twice. The first time I made it I used size 10 needles and the stole kept growing. So I knit it again with an different color of cottonation on size 6 needles. Nice for summer and fall. I plan to wrap it around my neck in the winter over my coat. You could make this out of any aran weight yarn for a warm oversized scarf or adapt the pattern for a cowl. I created a custom pin to match the shawl featured in the blue/green colorway. A how-to video will be added to my YouTube channel if you want to learn how I did it.
