Imagine a stormy fall evening and the wind picking up a swirl of fallen maple leaves. You reach for a shawl to wrap your shoulders and cozy up with a new project or a book. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this image. This is a shawl with a crescent body and a wide knit-on edging. If you prefer scarves, you can forego the body and work the lace part only for a rectangular shape. I designed this shawl to use a set of mini skeins but it would also be a great stash buster.
