What’s better than an engaging knit with a big warm woolly hug at the end? Crosson’s alternating panels of garter stitch and criss-crossing lace strike the perfect balance between relaxed and studious knitting. Choose Peerie’s worsted spun Merino wool for a shawl with dramatic drape and crisp stitch definition, or wrap yourself in a woolen-spun cloud with Loft’s lightweight Targhee-Columbia wool.
