The Local Hero Shawl to make and give comfort while giving support in community! Gauge is not important, and you end the project when you run out of yarn, so the size will vary. Use a second skein and continue the pattern out if you want a larger shawl.

This pattern was written for the Local Hero yarn created in Asheville, NC at Purl’s Yarn Emporium. Local Hero is a completely locally-sourced, milled, and dyed yarn dedicated to celebrating individuals who serve our local community through their commitment to justice, equality, and creativity. Each colorway honors a living local hero in Asheville, NC with 25% of sales of each hero’s colorway going to their community project. 100% of online sales of patterns also go to their projects. Patterns are free in the store with purchase of the yarn.
