Why You Should Knit This Free Shawl Pattern
I stumbled upon this pattern while browsing Ravelry a couple of weeks ago. I had seen that it had recently become a popular pattern, and when I saw that it was also free, I knew I had to feature it. Since it’s a quick knit, it’d be perfect to knit for yourself or for a loved one this Christmas.

I haven’t knit this pattern yet, but I know it would be a joy to make. With multiple options for yarn, you could knit this up in the coziest of fibers. I’d choose something like this 100% Irish lambswool or this lace-weight merino-silk blend held double.
Sonder Yarn Co. is a Montreal-based yarn shop featuring yarn bases with gorgeous fibers and colorways. If a kit is more up your alley, be sure to check out one of the many kits featured on Sonder Yarn Co.’s website. They have many popular patterns and colors to choose from.
Melissa from Sonder Yarn Co. has also published several other knitting patterns, including the free Hold the Line sweater, this comfy Turtle Dove Cardigan, and the cozy Indoorsy Socks.
