Inspired by the land of the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings series, the Shire in Spring Shawl is your new go-to simple garter stitch shawl!

This piece begins with a small number of stitches and increases along one side for the first section, works straight with no shaping for the next section, and then decreases back down along the same edge to the starting number of stitches, for a stunning trapezoidal shape that is cozy and versatile!
