This is truly the Quintessential Shawl. A beginner-friendly shawl pattern that results in the perfect wardrobe accessory. The Quintessential Shawl requires 200 g of light fingering weight yarn & looks fabulous knit with solid, variegated or ombre dyed yarns. The generously sized Quintessential Shawl is an easy layering piece to style. The triangular shape is divided into four bands of garter & ribbing; making it completely reversible. The pattern calls for easy cast-on and bind-off methods. And, there’s helpful charts to keep track of stitch counts along the way.
