Cozy Blankety Shawl
This stunning triangle shawl pattern can be draped over you in any which way for a cozy-yet-glamorous outfit enhancer!
"Greetings my fellow knitters! I had just gotten my hand on Lion Brand's huge "Pound of Love" skein, and I was still pondering what I would make of it. At a first glance, it gave me a very blanket-y feeling. Despite that, I still wanted to make a shawl out of it. So, I tried mixing between a blanket and a shawl look -which was new for me- and I gotta say, I'm very happy with how it turned out. This shawl is my contribution to AllFreeKnitting’s 10th Birthday Celebration, so happy anniversary to all the people at AllFreeKnitting! I'm wishing you the very best in what lies ahead! Stay safe and healthy, and have fun knitting!"
This incredible pattern is sixth in a series of printable patterns we're releasing to celebrate AllFreeKnitting's 10th birthday!
