Calendar Shawl
INTRODUCTION
An asymmetric shawl that keeps you company throughout the year.
You can choose to knit a section a month, or steam ahead and complete the shawl in a shorter time.
There are nine different stitch patterns within the shawl, with soothing garter stitch sections in between.
You also have the option of adding beads to celebrate special days throughout the year!
This project is perfect for yarn stash, yarn clubs or advent
calendars, as each monthly section can be knit with a variety of small mini skeins. So let the stash diving begin!
