One Point Wrap
You can knit more than scarves with arm knitting. The One Point Wrap is a quick and creative design that youll love to make and wear. A decrease technique gives this arm knit shawl a distinctive look. Take your arm knitting game to the next level with this surprisingly simple pattern.
