Malted Milk Shawl
There’s nothing like the feeling of wrapping up in a bit of wool and alpaca, worn as an easy shawl or a generous scarf. This shawl is knit from the center out, starting with a garter stitch tab and increasing in a triangle. Enjoy blending three colors of cozy with this unique stripe pattern, and finish with an eye-catching chevron lace edging.
