Drift Blanket Shawl

$7.00

Drift Blanket shawl, a new favorite for all occasions!

I wanted a shawl that could be easily paired with many outfits - casually or dressed up - a shawl I would grab for time and again. The design of the Drift Blanket shawl lends itself to both solid/tonal yarns as well as speckled/variegated colorways. Opt for tone on tone or a more dramatic pairing with high contrast - so many options to choose from - have fun with it!

Drift Blanket shawl is an asymmetrical shawl worked from side to side. The shawl begins with a handful of stitches and is worked to the end by increasing along one edge only to create the asymmetrical triangle shaping. There are two finishing options for this shawl, a herringbone edge (Option A) or a garter stitch edge (Option B).
