Nechamah Shawl
Nechamah means comfort in Hebrew. This large crescent shaped shawl wraps its cozy goodness around you! Knit in worsted weight, the center out design is a wonderful way to spotlight a novelty yarn that you adore. Lots of easy garter, with some easy yarn over to create simple eyelets. There is Icord trim across the top edge. Tassels on either end help keep the shawl in place while you wear it.
