Fancy That Shawl
Maybe you’re a fan of keeping your knits simple. Or perhaps you live for loads of color blocking, striping, or fun fringe. With this shawl, there are a whole host of options with whatever you fancy— fancy that!
Fancy That is knit side to side, making the size easy to customize. Elmer Fingering and Birdie are marled together in this shawl. The resulting fabric is soft and cozy, and that’s just the beginning of why we love this pattern. Designing the Fancy That Shawl was wonderful, but just wait till you get it on your needles and make it your own!
