My Bloody Valentine is a triangular shawl knit from bottom up and looks best when knit with super chunky wool or chunky wool held two stranded. I was inspired to design this shawl in honour of my friend’s wedding party, held on Valentine’s Day 2016 :-D It’s a quick and cosy knit, which looks just delightful with a few tassels added to some of the edge yarn overs – keep it cute, keep it cosy!
