π 5 Striped Shawl Patterns We Absolutely LOVE
Shawls are great projects for any time of year, and who says they have to be plain? Why not feature some colorful shawl patterns?
These projects show off how you can play with color, stripes, and texture to create some wearable pieces of art.
Here are a few of our favorite patterns...

Easy | 82 in long | Garter stitch
While the muted colors of this small shawl are lovely, we're big fans of the i-cord edging that gives it a perfect finish.
