Mad Fusion
Quick, easy and totally customizable make the Mad Fusion wrap a must knit. Here is a simple garter stitch triangular shawl, with limitless possibilities. We mixed bases and colors for our samples and held various weights together to create an amazing fabric. The squish factor is off the charts with this one, and the finished piece is oh so wearable!
