Dangan
Delicate and warm, this lightweight blanket or shawl will keep your knees warm on cool evenings or would also make a beautiful baby blanket. This piece is elegant and light enough to work wonderfully as a shawl, too. The larger size is big enough to fold over and use as a generously sized shawl, while the smaller size will keep your shoulders warm. It is knit at a loose gauge with 4-ply (sport weight) yarn, which creates a light and open blanket after blocking
