Design
Inspired by my lifelong obsession with icon Stevie Nicks and my fave Fleetwood Mac song “Dreams”, which coincidentally came out the same year I was born, 1977.
Dreams is an oversized blanket shawl worked in bulky yarn. The edging is knit in garter stitch, allowing the unique cable pattern to truly shine. Bulky weight wool creates plump stitch definition and turns an otherwise basic shawl into a warm blanket you can wrap yourself up in. Long fringe is added for a dreamy finish. The pattern is charted and also includes written instructions.
