This Aran weight shawl flies off of the needles! I combined a tonal rich green with a neutral grey speckle and let the texture do the rest of the work! Brioche, bobbles, garter and eyelets make for a fun knit that you don’t want to set down! Resulting in a super squishy shawl to wrap up in all winter long!
