Poppy Knit Triangle Shawl
Learn how to knit a triangular shawl with no lace for the colder months!
It's easy to knit up a pop of color for your wardrobe! The Poppy Knit Triangle Shawl is a super easy way to do it. Since this shawl is knit on the bias, it doesn't have any of those pesky lacy openings down the middle. This makes it a great neck warmer for the winter, as well as a great way to layer up in the spring time. We love this quick knit shawl for first-time shawl knitters, since you get to create a fantastic, uniquely wearable piece with minimal effort due to the self-striping nature of the yarn.
