The Vroom Vroom Shawl is a flirty and flouncy layering piece that will take you into the autumn season. This shawl is warm and cozy yet surprisingly light weight thanks to a combination of mohair and fingering weight wool. Also this design is perfect for mini skeins or yarn stash busting. Easy stitches and charming details make for an accessory that is as fun to wear as it is to make.
