If you’d like a shorter and wider shawl, cast on more stitches. The silk/merino blend makes for a warm shawl with SUCH GORGEOUS drape!

There are SO MANY ways to style this shawl, I especially love just wrapping up in it and staying cozy! It’s like a giant scarf, but one you can wrap up your shoulders in.

4 skeins of Silken Purls DK Yarn (50% silk, 50% superwash merino wool, 100 grams, 211 meters, 231 yards)
