make time for yarn every day

shawl showcases a beautiful swirling star
motif with a picot edging reminiscent of ower
petals. It can be worn folded in half for a
warm daytime shawl, or it can be worn more
dramatically with one third folded over for a
shawl collar, allowing the star motif to drape
across the back. You can even wear it long, so
that the length hangs all the way down your
back to create some drama for a night out.
Finish it by securing the fronts with a favorite
shawl pin or brooch.
