Kel is a fun shawl that plays with the concept of gender and the portrayal of masculinity/femininity in art.

From the soft, rounded triangular shape combined with a “frilled” edge to the graphic angles and stripes, Kel is all about defining yourself however you want – all in a fun, funky squishy shawl.

This shawl is constructed from the bottom up with the edging applied as you work the body of the shawl – alternating between holding yarn held double or single stranded to create the drape and contrast of textures in the fabric.
