Inspired by the golden grasslands and wide open blue skies of the Montana prairie, this lovely worsted weight shawl will keep you warm and cozy even against bracing northern winds. Drape it around your shoulders over a soft linen dress in the day and wrap it snugly around your neck as the sun goes down. Knit up up in a cushy, super soft woolen yarn with an easy textural pattern and simple lace motif, this shawl is a relaxing and enjoyable knit. The prairie skies shawl is perfect to layer over tanks and sundresses for summer, or piled on over flannels and sweaters in the colder months.
